Military commentator Yossi Yehoshua revealed on the i24NEWS main edition that in recent weeks Israel and the United States were close to a joint strike on Iran, but the strike was halted. The remarks came against the backdrop of an interview with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in which he said there are signs that Iran will initiate actions in various arenas in the coming days. The defense establishment is maintaining high alert due to the identification of Iranian attempts to create chaos in Israel ahead of the elections, as well as ahead of the midterm elections in the United States. The main concern is a miscalculation following a possible attack against Israel in which an Iranian fingerprint is identified. It was also reported that Netanyahu met with US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth at Ovda Airbase, in the presence of Defense Minister Katz and the head of the National Security Council.
