A senior Iranian official told Ynet that reports of a planned US-Israeli strike on Iran are 'an act of madness,' according to the report.
The statement from the unnamed Iranian official, reported by Ynet at 07:26 Jerusalem time, dismisses recent reports indicating that the United States and Israel are preparing a joint attack on Iran. The official characterized such reports as 'an act of madness,' without providing further details. The denial comes amid a sustained US aerial campaign against Iranian military infrastructure that has been ongoing since July 2026, as well as previous Iranian threats to retaliate against any strike on its soil. The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple waves of US strikes and Iranian threats of reprisal, including against US assets in the Gulf. The identity of the official and the specific reports being referred to were not specified in the initial report.
