Israeli assessments in recent days, discussed at a meeting chaired by the prime minister this evening, indicate that if a US-Iran deal is not reached soon the probability of a return to all-out fighting increases significantly, according to a report by Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh (N13 / Army Radio). Separately, the head of Iran's War Headquarters warned that the US would face a "much harder response than before" if it attempts further strikes on Iran.
This evening, assessments circulating in Israeli security discussions — reviewed in a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Netanyahu — warn that the window for a negotiated US-Iran deal is narrowing, and the risk of a return to all-out fighting is growing substantially if no agreement is reached soon, as reported by Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh (N13 / Army Radio). The Israeli assessment thread appears to reflect a view that a military escalation with Iran could resume rapidly if diplomatic channels fail.
The warning comes as the head of Iran's War Headquarters issued a public statement cautioning the US that any further attacks would draw a "much harder response than before." The Iranian statement aligns with earlier threats from Tehran but comes at a moment of heightened tension, with multiple Israeli and regional analysts in recent days assessing that renewed intense fighting may be imminent.
The timing of the Israeli assessments and the Iranian threat — both appearing around 20:00 Jerusalem time — suggests a synchronized escalation of rhetoric. No decision on operational posture has been announced. The likelihood of resumed broad hostilities depends heavily on diplomatic developments in the coming days.
