[67740] Reports in 'Haaretz': Security establishment surprised by Trump's statements on an attack in Iran

Tension with Iran: Responses in the security establishment to Trump's statements

According to reports from Al Jazeera, which is identified with positions critical of Israeli and American policy in the Middle East, officials in the IDF expressed astonishment at Donald Trump's statements, according to which he was "on the verge of an attack" against Iran according to an Al Jazeera report.

In the reports cited from the 'Haaretz' newspaper, it was noted that the Israeli security establishment expected "direct and broad coordination" regarding any military action in Iran, and that the lack of coordination came as a complete surprise to the military echelons according to an Al Jazeera report.

It also emerges from the publications, which were also distributed by Lebanon News 🇱🇧 أخبار لبنان والعالم, that security officials estimate that any renewal of American attacks on Iran will lead "with very high probability" to direct Israeli involvement in the fighting according to Lebanon News.

In addition, security officials quoted in 'Haaretz' expressed significant skepticism regarding the possibility of bringing about the fall of the regime in Iran in the event of a renewed flare-up of fighting according to Al Jazeera. The position emerging from the reports highlights the Israeli fear of being dragged into a broad regional conflict without prior strategic coordination with the American ally.
