MK Saada stated that Israel is approaching a strike on Iran, possibly this weekend. The Prime Minister's office reportedly expressed anger over the remarks, which were seen as a potential breach of operational security.
The remarks by MK Saada, reported by Israeli political sources, come as Israel and the United States have been engaged in a tense standoff with Iran over its nuclear program and regional activities. The Zioneer has previously reported on US threats of strikes on Iran and Iranian warnings of retaliation. The Prime Minister's office's reported anger suggests concern over the disclosure of sensitive operational timelines. No official confirmation of any planned strike has been issued by the IDF or the Prime Minister's office.
