A senior security official told Walla that Iran and Hezbollah are "tempted" to carry out an operation that would affect the election campaign in Israel, but there is no concrete information about such an operation. According to him, Israel is preparing for all scenarios with very high readiness. The official described the situation in Iran along three axes: a severe economic crisis under American sanctions, internal power struggles between supporters of an agreement and President Mojtaba Khamenei and the Revolutionary Guards who advocate a hawkish line, and fear of a surprise American attack. Alongside this, the IDF and the US military maintain high alert, but as of now there is no concrete warning of an operation on the borders except for the open warnings in Judea and Samaria.
