Not just missiles: The plan Iran could activate against the elections in Israel

The elections in Israel could become a strategic target for the Iranian regime, which seeks to weaken Israel and undermine the continued cooperation between Netanyahu and Trump. From spreading false information and fueling internal divisions to attempts to disrupt voting and even harm citizens—these are the scenarios that require security preparedness.

The elections in Israel could become a strategic target for the Iranian regime, which seeks to weaken Israel and undermine the continued cooperation between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump. The article details possible scenarios for Iranian interference: spreading false information, fueling internal divisions, social media manipulations, activating chaos-generating elements, undermining public trust, attempts to disrupt voting, and even physical harm to citizens in certain areas of Israel. The author, Shagiv Asulin, a former senior Mossad official, argues that the continued partnership between Netanyahu and Trump is the worst-case scenario for the Iranian regime, and therefore Tehran will exhaust every option to prevent it. The article emphasizes that Israel is not seeking confrontation, but will not allow a hostile regime to dictate its agenda or influence election results. It calls for a sober and firm approach, drawing lessons from October 7, and clarifies that security decisions will be made based solely on security considerations.
