Tension with Iran and waiting for the White House

According to reports in Epoch - Magazine | News | Analysis, senior security officials in Israel are on high alert and assess that the chance of an agreement with Iran remains low. In 301 News Arab World, Yoni Ben-Menachem from the Jerusalem Center for Foreign Affairs - JCFA is quoted, noting that Jerusalem is awaiting Trump's decision, as he has convened an emergency meeting with his national security team to examine the military option. The assessment is that an additional strike on national infrastructure in Iran could increase pressure on the regime and lead it to compromise.

The commentator Yaron Avraham from the channel 12 Corner 99 - which presents a line identified with support for the current U.S. administration's positions - claims that "all senior officials in Israel are certain that Trump will attack again" due to a lack of choice on the part of the Iranians. According to him, despite the ultimatum set by Trump, it seems that military action is on the table. Regarding the coordination between Netanyahu and Trump, Avraham warns against a "trap" of creating false appearances of disagreements, while in reality, full coordination exists.
