Security analyst Yair Goldblatt said on X that Israel's reported preparations for a planned US strike on Iran were not merely defensive but part of a deliberate design to force Iran to fire at Israel, thereby drawing the Jewish state into the campaign. Goldblatt asserted that the 'powerful' strike was planned with the expectation that Iran would retaliate against Israel, making Israeli involvement inevitable.
Security analyst Yair Goldblatt posted on X that Israel's 'preparations' for the planned US strike on Iran were not a routine defensive measure but a deliberate design to force Iran to retaliate against Israel, thereby drawing the Jewish state into the campaign. Goldblatt characterized the planned strike, described as 'powerful', as part of a broader strategy aimed at ensuring Israeli involvement in the US-Iran confrontation. The analyst has previously argued that any US escalation targeting Iran's critical infrastructure or senior officials would prompt Iranian retaliation against Israel, and that Israeli participation in the campaign was a fait accompli. The current post does not cite additional sources or provide operational details. The US has conducted multiple rounds of airstrikes on Iranian targets in recent weeks, with Israeli officials signaling readiness to join if Iran targets Israel.
