Iranian officials are convinced that the war with Israel will resume, according to a report by Israel Hayom. The report, which cites unnamed sources in Tehran, indicates a prevailing assessment within the Iranian establishment that a new round of conflict is imminent.
Israel Hayom reported Thursday evening that Iranian officials are convinced the war with Israel will resume. The report, citing unnamed sources in Tehran, does not specify a timeline or cite any particular trigger for the expected escalation, but reflects a prevailing assessment in the Iranian establishment. The report comes amid a series of statements from Iranian military officials in recent weeks emphasizing readiness for a protracted conflict, as covered by The Zioneer. These include the army spokesman's remarks that Iran's 'finger is on the trigger' and that the military still considers itself at war. Israeli defense officials have also signaled the campaign is far from over, with Defense Minister Israel Katz stating the IDF is ready to strike Iran with great force. The report is based on a single source — an unattributed Israel Hayom dispatch — and has not been independently corroborated.
