Senior Iranian official claims: 'The attack is a certainty - there will be no diplomatic solution'

An Iranian security official claims that a US-Israeli attack is certain and that there will be no diplomatic solution. In contrast, an Israeli military official says that the IDF does not see an immediate threat from Iran and is not preparing for a preemptive strike.

An Iranian security official claims that Tehran views a US-Israeli attack as a certain scenario and doubts Washington's diplomatic messages. According to him, this perception may strengthen after Marco Rubio's speech in Athens, which he said granted historical and cultural legitimacy for war against Iran. It is further claimed that leaders and academics in Iran have concluded that US policy in the Middle East is managed from Tel Aviv, and that Israel will not allow a diplomatic solution. In contrast, an Israeli military official says that the IDF is not about to launch a preemptive strike on Iran now, and that they do not see any activity in Iran that could endanger Israel in the immediate term. The headline promises absolute certainty of an attack, but the body of the article also presents a different Israeli assessment.
