Senior Israeli officials reportedly stated that the question of whether Israel will be part of a regional escalation depends mainly on whether Iran chooses to fire at Israel. The statement was attributed to unnamed officials.
The statement, attributed to senior Israeli officials, adds to a series of assessments by Israeli security and political figures regarding the country's posture toward Iran amid heightened regional tensions. As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, Israeli officials have been weighing various scenarios, including the possibility of joining a US-led campaign against Iran. The current assessment suggests that Israel's participation in any escalation would be contingent on direct Iranian aggression against Israeli territory.
