Israel is ready to resume full-scale military action against Iran on its own if the US decides to stop participating in the conflict. This was stated by a senior Israeli security official in a message aired on Channel 12. The source stressed: "Israel will act independently against Iran, against its nuclear capabilities and ballistic missile stockpiles. We will never accept a nuclear Iran." Minister Eli Cohen, a member of the political-security cabinet, said the country maintains readiness to strike Iran even if an agreement is reached between Tehran and Washington. He also pointed to growing economic pressure and internal difficulties in Iran, but stressed that Israel does not intend to rely on possible instability inside the country and continues to prepare for any development. Earlier, Kursor reported that amid the escalation with Iran, Israel found itself in an unusual situation: while American forces struck Iranian territory for several consecutive nights, the IDF remained outside the operation, and strategy was determined in Washington. However, during the latest round of escalation, the balance of power shifted. It was also reported that Middle Eastern states are reassessing regional relations in light of a possible reduction in the American military presence and the preservation of power in Iran.
