Israel raises alert, estimates Trump close to order new attacks on Iran
Israeli officials warn renewed US strikes on Iran could trigger attacks on Israel, as embassies urge citizens to consider leaving amid rising tensions.
Israel has raised the alert and readiness amid assessments that US President Donald Trump is close to deciding to resume military strikes against Iran, potentially on an even larger scale, two Israeli sources told The Jerusalem Post.
Israeli officials told the Post that “we are on high alert and awaiting the president’s final decision.”
While it remains unclear whether Trump would seek to involve Israel in the initial phase of such an operation, Israel’s working assumption is that any major strike on Iran, even one carried out without direct Israeli participation, would likely draw Israel into the conflict.
