A senior security official told Walla that the IDF continues to maintain high readiness for a possible escalation with Iran, and that coordination with the US military is described as "close." These remarks come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East. Earlier today, US President Donald Trump escalated threats toward Tehran, saying "this is their last chance to sign the deal," and that talks with Iran are ongoing even now. In response to a question about collecting payment in the Strait of Hormuz, Trump said he would not allow it, and that he has "full control" over the strait and a naval blockade. He also said he wants to give Iran "every last chance before beheadings." The article quotes these remarks but does not provide analysis or an Iranian response.
