According to a report by Yaron Avraham on N12's central edition, senior Israeli officials assess that Iran currently does not intend to attack Israel, out of concern that such an attack would reignite high-intensity fighting. The officials said the campaign would expand to Israel only if the US or Iran decide to involve Israel.
Israeli officials have assessed that Iran does not intend to attack Israel at this stage, according to a report Sunday evening by N12's Yaron Avraham on the network's central edition. The assessment, attributed to senior Israeli officials, states that Iran is concerned that an attack on Israel would reignite high-intensity fighting. The officials added that the conflict would expand to Israel only if the United States or Iran decide to involve it.
The Zioneer has previously reported on similar assessments. On July 9, Israeli officials said the current assessment was that Iran was deliberately avoiding drawing Israel into the conflict, and outlined two scenarios that could trigger Israeli involvement: a direct Iranian attack on Israel, or a formal US request for Israeli military involvement. On July 10, The Zioneer reported that US officials had expressed concern Israel might escalate tensions with Iran.
This new report does not indicate any change in the assessment. The source is a single credible media report from a major Israeli network.
