As the possibility of a U.S. attack on Iran comes to the agenda, the Israeli Army has instructed the Home Front Command to enter a state of high alert. It has been reported that orders for war preparations have also been given, and security meetings have been held due to concerns that Iran may retaliate.
It has been reported that the Israeli Army's Home Front Command has been instructed to go on high alert following assessments that the U.S. could "launch" a possible attack on Iran "soon."
Israeli media wrote that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's government assessed that the Tehran administration could retaliate against Israel in the event of a U.S. attack on Iran.
ORDER FOR WAR PREPARATION HAS BEEN GIVEN
In this context, it was reported that the Israeli Army's Home Front Command, along with civil defense and emergency units, has been given an order for "war preparation."
It was noted that preparation meetings were held at all levels in Israel due to the possibility of a U.S. attack on Iran. However, the timing and scope of a possible attack are still unclear.
SECURITY CABINET MEETING POSTPONED TO SUNDAY DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ATTACK ON IRAN
According to a report by Yedioth Ahronot, the Israeli security cabinet, which was scheduled to meet on Thursday under the leadership of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu due to the possibility of an attack on Iran, has also been postponed to Sunday.
Israeli officials speaking to the newspaper claimed that in the indirect negotiations conducted by Iran, the Washington administration did not meet its demands but was trying to buy time and mislead the U.S.
On the other hand, the report also mentioned that diplomatic sources commented that the patience of the Washington administration would run out faster than Iran expected.
IT IS CLAIMED THAT ISRAEL WILL ALSO PARTICIPATE IN THESE ATTACKS IF THE U.S. ATTACKS IRAN
In a report by Channel 12, which broadcasts in Israel, it was claimed that if the U.S. launches an attack on Iran, Israel will also participate in these attacks.
A senior U.S. official speaking to Channel 12 claimed that the second round of nuclear negotiations with Iran held in Geneva on Tuesday was a "complete failure."
Another U.S. official claimed that Iran was given until the end of the month to accept conditions that included significant concessions regarding its nuclear program.
U.S. officials suggested that President Donald Trump is "very close" to giving an order for a large-scale attack on Iran, stating that the diplomatic window is narrowing and military options are on the table.
A senior Israeli official stated, "The timeline is narrowing. This is also valid in terms of military preparation. In the end, there is only one person who will make the decision."
WHAT HAPPENED?
On Tuesday, a second round of nuclear negotiations lasting 2.5 hours took place in Geneva, Switzerland, mediated by Oman, between Iran and the U.S.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance stated that the U.S.-Iran talks held in Geneva were "going well in some respects," but they would continue to work to ensure that Iran accepts the red lines set by the U.S., including military options.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated after the second round of nuclear negotiations that his country is "not pursuing nuclear weapons and is ready to verify this."
