Security establishment officials have expressed clear reservations to the political echelon about an attack on Iran at this time, fearing that it would be seen as political interference in the elections. This was reported Wednesday evening by Kan News, citing two sources familiar with the matter. In recent weeks, the security establishment has stepped up readiness for action in Iran, including drills reportedly conducted over Iraqi skies. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly conveyed a message to Iran, claiming there are signs that Israel's enemies will try to attack us ahead of the elections. However, according to sources familiar with the matter, although target dates for readiness were set, they were some time away from realization. The reservations of officials within the security establishment were raised during discussions on the issue.
