Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to proceed with a military campaign against Iran even without American backing, according to Israeli security sources. The IDF is preparing to operate independently against Iran, amid disputes with the Trump administration over diplomatic approaches.
The report, attributed to Israeli security sources, states that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking to launch a military campaign against Iran even without American backing, and that the IDF is preparing to act independently. The assessment comes amid reported disputes with the Trump administration, which has favored diplomatic solutions and regional agreements over military action.
Earlier Sunday, Turkish state news agency Anadolu reported that Israel is preparing a unilateral strike on Iran if the United States reaches a deal with Tehran or ends the current confrontation without dismantling Iran's strategic capabilities. The latest report provides Israeli sourcing for a similar assessment.
It remains unclear whether the reported preparations indicate an imminent operation or a longer-term readiness posture. The Zioneer has previously documented a series of statements from Israeli leaders—including Defense Minister Israel Katz and the prime minister himself—affirming Israel's willingness to act independently to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
