Major General (res.) Uzi Dayan said that Israel must maintain a heightened state of readiness and be prepared for the possibility of an Iranian attack, which he said could occur within minutes. Dayan's remarks come amid ongoing tensions in the Gulf region and heightened alert in Israel.
Major General (res.) Uzi Dayan, a former IDF general, on Thursday called for Israel to be on 'double alert' and ready for a potential Iranian attack that could come 'within minutes.' His statement was shared as Israel remains on high alert amid ongoing tensions with Iran, following a series of escalations in the Gulf region and the Strait of Hormuz.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the IDF raising its alert to peak levels on July 20, with senior officials assessing that the likelihood of a military escalation with Iran has increased significantly. On June 29, Defense Minister Israel Katz warned of renewed escalation with Iran 'within two days' and said the IDF is prepared to strike. The United States has also warned Gulf states to brace for possible Iranian retaliation, as reported on July 8.
Dayan's assessment adds to a chorus of official and former official voices urging preparedness. The security establishment continues to monitor the situation closely, with no specific threat detected at this time.
