The IDF assesses that Iran's senior leadership is deliberating whether to bring Israel into the broader campaign, according to a report by Yaron Abraham. The assessment states that Iran understands that Israeli involvement would exact a very heavy price from the regime.
The IDF's assessment, reported by Yaron Abraham tonight, indicates that Iran's leadership is still weighing the strategic calculus of drawing Israel into the ongoing campaign. The assessment notes that Iranian decision-makers recognize that Israeli involvement would impose a severe cost on the regime.
The Zioneer has previously reported on senior Israeli officials saying Iran remains undecided on an attack (July 19) and on the IDF maintaining peak alert levels (July 13). The new assessment aligns with those warnings, suggesting that Israel's potential entry into the campaign remains a central variable in Iran's deliberations.
No additional details on the IDF's intelligence basis were provided.
