Israeli security officials assess that a campaign against Iran is not expected to open in the coming days, according to a report by Anna Barsky in Maariv. The assessment reflects current thinking in the defense establishment.
A new assessment circulating in Israeli security circles, reported by Anna Barsky in Maariv, indicates that Israel does not expect a campaign against Iran to open in the coming days. The report, published late Saturday, cites unnamed officials.
The assessment comes amid a series of Israeli evaluations on the Iran front over the past several weeks. As The Zioneer has reported, assessments have ranged from a 50% likelihood of war in the near term to expectations that the conflict would remain limited to the US-Iran sphere. The current outlook appears to lean toward the more cautious end of the spectrum.
No further details on the basis of the assessment were provided. The report did not specify whether the assessment reflects a change in position or a continuation of previous thinking.
