Israeli state television KAN reported that the Tel Aviv government had made an assessment of a “possible US attack on Iran” based on recent regional developments.
News reports noted that there had been a number of signs and actions in the last 24 hours that were considered to be “harbingers of an attack.”
The news said that the U.S. call for its diplomats in Israel to leave the country and distress calls from the embassies of other Western countries were among these signs, and noted that Israel would announce this update to the public as soon as an early update was received from the United States.
The news recalled that the deadline set by US President Trump for Iran to succeed in the negotiations is Sunday, March 1, but technical talks are scheduled for Monday, March 2 in Vienna.
According to KAN, Israeli defense officials explained that we are in a sensitive time when any incident could trigger a large-scale conflict.
As part of this assessment, the Israeli military raised the alert level of its air defense systems and strengthened emergency procedures on the home front, including training local officials and preparing basic infrastructure for rocket and missile attack scenarios.
While political circles claimed that Israel did not want war, they stressed that it was prepared to use force in the event of a direct attack by “Iran or its proxies.”
Security sources said diplomatic efforts continue to be made alongside military preparations to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, but the situation across the region is “on a knife edge”.
Israel argues that Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs should be ended and that Tehran's support for its “proxies” in the region should end.
As negotiations with Iran continue, the US is rapidly increasing its military presence in the Middle East.
