Likud MK Saada reveals possibility of upcoming Israeli attack on Iran in Channel 14 interview

Member of Knesset Moshe Saada stated on Thursday that an attack on Iran is approaching, potentially as early as this weekend. Saada, a Likud party member, made the remarks during an interview with Channel 14 News, adding that these were the prevailing assessments. His comments come as tensions between the United States and Iran are escalating, with expectations of a potential regional flare-up.

This is not the first time Saada has publicly discussed the possibility of an imminent attack. He had previously suggested on several occasions within the past week that military action could occur within days, indicating his remarks might have been deliberate rather than an accidental slip. The Channel 14 interview headline suggested it was a "slip of the tongue," but Saada's prior statements challenge this interpretation.

“

We all know that we are approaching an attack on Iran, perhaps even as early as this weekend; those are the assessments.

Following the interview, Channel 13 News reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office was furious over Saada's statements, viewing them seriously. In response to the reported anger, Saada clarified his remarks, suggesting that listeners should review the full interview to understand he was referring to an attack by "Trump and the United States." The situation highlights the extreme sensitivity surrounding public discussions of security matters in the region, especially during periods of peak tension.

“

I suggest that everyone listen to the full interview and discover that I was speaking about an attack by Trump and the United States.
