Israel raises alert as officials estimate large-scale American attack on Iran imminent - report

Israeli officials have significantly raised their alert level, anticipating a potential large-scale American attack on Iran that could escalate into wider conflict. Many estimate the situation is "on the verge of exploding," according to N12 News. This heightened concern stems from intelligence suggesting President Donald Trump is contemplating substantial military action against Iran.

It is estimated that [US President Donald] Trump has not yet decided on the scope of the attack, and it is not known whether he wants Israel with him in the first phase or not.

The reports indicate that the White House is assessing the impact of targeted strikes on Iranian energy facilities, believing such an attack could destabilize the current regime. "Such a powerful attack could be targeted in time and would not necessarily lead to an 'energy war' that would raise prices," a source told N12. The timing remains uncertain, with speculation that the decision might be influenced by upcoming midterm elections, but the prevailing sentiment is that "it is not a question of if but when."

Such a powerful attack could be targeted in time and would not necessarily lead to an 'energy war' that would raise prices. These are specific facilities that could have a significant effect on the public.

Adding to the regional tension, Israeli officials have warned that any American military action against Iranian assets could prompt retaliatory attacks against Israel. Meanwhile, an Israeli official told CBS that the country has not been asked to participate in any military operations against Iran and is unaware of a decision to resume full military activity. The US Embassy in Israel updated its travel advisory, urging American citizens to consider departing the country due to the rising tensions or be prepared to leave if an escalation occurs. Similar warnings were issued by US embassies in Jordan, Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq.

It is not yet clear whether Trump will go for this option or will prolong the blockade until the midterm elections. It is not a question of if but when. All signs indicate that Trump has no choice but to go in this direction.
