🛡️ ISRAEL MOVES TO HIGHEST HOME FRONT ALERT AS U.S. FINALIZES IRAN STRIKE OPTIONS, REGIONAL MILITARY SIGNALS INTENSIFY, AND TEHRAN DECLARES FULL WAR READINESS
🕑 January 29, 2026 | 11:00 PM
🚨 HOME FRONT COMMAND ALERT STATUS: The Home Front Command announced a transition to the highest level of alert across all sectors. Forces have been reinforced, alert systems are fully operational, and the public has been instructed to continue following official guidelines.
⚠️ ISRAELI ASSESSMENT OF U.S. DECISION-MAKING: Senior Israeli officials told Israeli media this evening that the U.S. administration has “reached a decision” regarding the Iranian regime and that “the current situation will not stay the same for much longer.”
♟️ U.S. MILITARY OPTIONS AGAINST IRAN: The Wall Street Journal reports President Trump has been briefed on options jointly developed by the White House and the Pentagon. One option, referred to as “The Big Plan,” involves large-scale airstrikes on regime facilities and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps sites. Other options include strikes on symbolic regime targets with room to escalate if Iran does not agree to stop its nuclear activities, cyberattacks on Iranian banks, or tightening sanctions. Israel estimates that President Trump wants to strike targets in Iran such as nuclear facilities and ballistic missile sites.
⚓ REGIONAL SIGNALS AND MILITARY MOVEMENTS: A U.S. warship is preparing to dock in the Gulf of Eilat amid preparations for a possible attack on Iran.
🛰️ Social media reports also indicate major GPS jamming across Lebanon and Syria.
❗️ IRAN DECLARES EMERGENCY AND WAR READINESS: The commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps declared a state of emergency across Iran and full readiness for war. Iranian Army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia said: “The necessary plans have been prepared regarding a possible attack by the enemy. We have appropriate and proportionate responses for all the different scenarios that the enemy might undertake. If Trump thinks he can carry out a quick operation, then tweet two hours later that the operation is over, this is absolutely out of the question. The scope of the war will encompass the entire geography of the region, from the Zionist entity to the countries where US bases are located.”
🚫 DIPLOMATIC AND INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS: Iran International reported that the Italian embassy in Tehran has reduced its staff and called on the country’s citizens to leave Iran immediately. Amid the tensions, Liberian President Joseph Boakai and Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker canceled planned visits to Israel next week. No official explanation was given for the cancellations.
🚀 IRANIAN MISSILE ASSESSMENT: Israeli Channel 13 reported: “The number of Iranian ballistic missiles has returned to the level it was before Operation Rising Lion.”
▪️ UK MILITARY POSTURE: The UK is not expected to participate in a potential U.S. attack on Iran. Twelve Royal Air Force Typhoon fighter jets deployed in Qatar are intended for defensive missions if Iran attacks Qatar or other regional allies. The jets were deployed at Doha’s request.
🚇 IRANIAN CIVIL DEFENSE STEPS: Tehran Mayor Alireza Zakani announced the start of construction on urban shelters in underground parking lots. He described it as a “pioneering plan” intended to be converted into emergency shelters in critical situations.

🛡️ ISRAEL SIGNALS GAZA ENFORCEMENT AND ECONOMIC CONFIDENCE AS IDF NEUTRALIZES IMMINENT THREATS, MOVES TO CUT AID FLOWS, AND GOVERNMENT ADVANCES BUDGET AMID U.S. ASSESSMENT OF HAMAS DISARMAMENT
🕑 January 30, 2026 | 1:30 AM
🗣️ HAMAS DISARMAMENT: President Trump said "A lot of people said that Hamas would never disarm; it looks like they are going to disarm".
⚔ GAZA AID POLICY AND IDF ASSESSMENT: The Jerusalem Post reports that the IDF recommended reducing humanitarian aid truck entry into Gaza from 600 to 200 per day as Phase II of the ceasefire progresses.
The IDF says “excess aid” is largely being seized by Hamas, reinforcing the group and raising concerns over whether it will accept the National Committee for Administrative Governance (NCAG).
The IDF also expressed concern that Hamas might try to covertly control the NCAG in a similar way to Hezbollah’s influence in Lebanon.
🎯 IMMINENT THREATS NEUTRALIZED IN GAZA: Earlier today, the IDF conducted a precise strike, in accordance with the ceasefire agreement, targeting a Hamas terrorist planning an imminent attack against IDF troops operating in the southern Gaza Strip.
The IDF said steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence.
Palestinian media reported at least two dead and several wounded following an Israeli drone strike in central Gaza’s Maghazi camp.
Separately, IDF troops in the southern Gaza Strip identified a terrorist who crossed the Yellow Line and approached the troops, posing an immediate threat. The terrorist was eliminated to remove the threat.
💰 STATE BUDGET AND ECONOMIC STATEMENTS: With the support of the ultra-Orthodox parties, the Likud-bloc’s state budget passed the Knesset’s first reading by 62–55.
At the budget presentation, Finance Minister Smotrich called on the Governor of the Bank of Israel to lower interest rates significantly and quickly, and said Israel is beginning to bring the defense budget into a more reasonable framework.
He said: "Our macroeconomic data are nothing short of amazing. After two years of an expensive war, the State of Israel is a powerhouse of strength. We foresee growth of 5.2% in GDP in the coming year.
Our currency is showing exceptional strength against the dollar and is trading at a historic rate — today, less than three shekels and ten agorot. When the shekel is strong, prices go down. To complete the success of our fiscal policy, the Governor must do one thing — lower interest rates significantly and quickly, and unleash the economy for growth. We are not in an inflationary environment; the strong shekel will push it even further down. The high-tech sector is at an all-time peak, surpassing its level on the eve of the war.
The state budget before you stands at 660 billion shekels. After two years, we are beginning to bring the defense budget into a reasonable framework and increase investment in education, welfare, digitization, and more."
Israeli Channel 12 reported: "The ultra-Orthodox threaten and threaten [against the Likud-bloc], but when the moment of truth comes, they back down. No one believes their threats anymore, and rightly so,"
💵 MAJOR ISRAELI TECH ACQUISITION: Apple is acquiring the Israeli company Q for about $1.5 billion. The company develops AI applications for the communications field, marking Apple’s second-largest acquisition ever after Beats.

🛡️ U.S. NAVY DESTROYER DOCKS IN EILAT AS ISRAEL ASSESSES BROAD U.S.-LED STRIKE OPTIONS AGAINST IRAN AND IDF COMPLETES FULL-SCALE CENTRAL COMMAND WAR READINESS EXERCISE
🕑 January 30, 2026 | 1:30 PM
⚓ U.S. Navy Presence in Eilat: A U.S. Navy missile destroyer docked earlier at Israel’s Red Sea port city of Eilat. The IDF said the arrival was routine and pre-planned as part of ongoing cooperation between the IDF and the U.S. military. The IDF stated: “The destroyer is docking at the port as part of a routine, pre-planned activity and as part of the cooperation between the IDF and the U.S. military.”
♟️ Iran and U.S. Strike Assessments: Israeli Channel 11 reported that Israel assesses the United States may be aiming for an attack that could result in the toppling of the Iranian regime. The Wall Street Journal reported that President Trump was briefed on multiple strike options, including a significant plan for broad attacks on Revolutionary Guard facilities and key regime assets.
Israel Hayom reported that Washington, in cooperation with the UK, France, Israel, and four Arab countries, prepared a list of potential targets in Iran. Four Arab states, including three Gulf countries, participated in intelligence gathering.
Israeli assessments indicate a broad U.S. military campaign is being prepared at the Pentagon. Israel is maintaining a high level of preparedness in anticipation of developments.
Israeli officials have pressed the U.S. to join potential action against Iran’s ballistic missile program. President Trump is reported to be particularly interested in targeting Iranian leaders who threatened to assassinate him.
Expanded U.S. options presented include strikes on leadership, renewed attacks on ballistic missile forces, and potential commando raids on nuclear sites.
According to Israeli intelligence assessments, an Iranian counterattack may focus on major Israeli cities, unlike June attacks that primarily targeted military sites and critical infrastructure.
🪖 IDF Central Command Exercise Completed: The IDF announced the completion of the “Hour of the Lion” headquarters exercise held over the past week in Central Command. The drill simulated the development of a full campaign across the sector, from divisional headquarters up to the General Staff.
The exercise tested command decision-making under complex emergency scenarios, activated all relevant war rooms, and examined the implementation of the defense concept, including rapid transition from defense to offense.
For the first time, the Command Fire Center currently being established was drilled. The exercise required coordination between four divisions, the Civil Administration, Israel Police, Border Police, Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), and Magen David Adom.
The drill was pre-planned as part of the Operations Directorate’s 2026 training program. The IDF said it will continue strengthening operational readiness to address challenges in the sector and meet future missions.

🛡️ U.S. BOMBER AND TANKER DEPLOYMENTS, ISRAELI WARNINGS TO HEZBOLLAH, AND INTELLIGENCE EXPOSURES SIGNAL HEIGHTENED MILITARY READINESS AND DETERRENCE PRESSURE ON IRAN AND ITS ALLIES
🕑 January 30, 2026 | 2:00 PM
✈️ U.S. MILITARY AIR MOVEMENTS: Three U.S. Air Force KC-135R Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft are relocating from Morón Air Base in Spain to Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. A tanker package has also launched from Fairchild Air Force Base, signaling a major bomber movement.
KC-135Rs and a KC-46A are positioning to refuel B-52H bombers transiting the Pacific, with the bombers expected to stage through Diego Garcia, approximately 2,500 miles from Iran. Two additional B-52Hs are assessed to have departed Barksdale Air Force Base overnight and are expected to link up with the force.
⚔️ ISRAELI ASSESSMENT ON HEZBOLLAH: Retired Brigadier General Amir Avivi said the war with Hezbollah is not over, despite public perceptions. He assessed that fighting could intensify across multiple fronts and tied Lebanon’s tensions to developments involving Iran. Avivi said any Hezbollah aggression would prompt a decisive IDF response aimed at total defeat.
❗️ IRAN-ALIGNED ACTIVITY IN IRAQ: The head of the Iraqi Al-Nujaba Movement’s office in Salah al-Din Province said a large surge of volunteers reflects support for Iran amid rising U.S. threats. He claimed the mobilization signals solidarity with Tehran and readiness to stand alongside Iran during current tensions.
🛡️ IRANIAN MILITARY READINESS: Hossein Nejat, deputy commander of the Sorallah Headquarters responsible for the defense of Tehran, said Iranian armed forces are at a much higher level of readiness than at the beginning of the 12-day war. He said the enemy is in a very difficult situation and incapable of taking any action, and that lessons learned from the war have increased Iran’s strength.
⚠️ IRANIAN OFFICIAL STATEMENTS: Iranian MP Kamran Ghazanfari claimed that warnings by senior security officials, stating that U.S. bases in the region would be targeted and suffer casualties, caused President Trump to retreat from attacking Iran.
He said Trump was insolent for threatening to harm the Supreme Leader, argued that military equations have changed, and claimed the enemy can no longer act arrogantly toward Iran. He added that weak statements about negotiations by Iranian government figures encourage U.S. pressure.
⚔️ The Pentagon stated that negotiations for a deal with Iran have definitively failed and that a significant attack plan has been formulated.
🎙️ Mossad Agent Interview Details: An Iranian Mossad agent using the alias Arash spoke with Israeli Channel 12 about operations during Israel’s June 2025 campaign. He said rockets and drones launched from within Iran destroyed key air defense systems, struck ballistic missile launchers, and targeted senior military officials and nuclear scientists on June 13, 2025.
He said he began working with Mossad in 2015 after contacting the agency online and later received training abroad, including in Israel. Ahead of the June campaign, he was sent back into Iran to lead internal operations before being extracted to Israel. He described himself as “Mossad eyes inside this mission.”
👀 China Monitoring Israeli Intelligence Activity: China is closely monitoring the extent of Mossad penetration into Iran following 2025 events and Israeli strikes deep inside the country. Chinese analysts warned this has created what they described as a “Pandora’s box of global security risks.”
Beijing views Israel’s internal disabling of Iranian air defense and radar systems as a new form of intelligence warfare and has increased technical cooperation with Iran to detect and counter Israeli intelligence operations inside Iranian territory.

❌ IDF STRIKES HEZBOLLAH IN SOUTHERN LEBANON, ELIMINATES TERRORISTS IN EASTERN RAFAH, RAFAH CROSSING TO REOPEN UNDER CEASEFIRE TERMS, SOUTH AFRICA DECLARES ISRAELI ENVOY PERSONA NON GRATA
🕑 January 30, 2026 | 2:30 PM
❌ SOUTHERN LEBANON STRIKE (SEDDIQIN): In response to Hezbollah’s repeated violations of the ceasefire understandings, the IDF struck a Hezbollah terrorist in the Seddiqin area in southern Lebanon. Lebanese sources reported the strike hit a vehicle at the targeted location, and footage from the scene shows damage to the car following the impact.
❌ EASTERN RAFAH: TUNNEL ACTIVITY, AIRSTRIKE, AND ONGOING SEARCHES: Overnight, IDF troops identified eight terrorists who emerged from underground terrorist infrastructure in eastern Rafah. The Israeli Air Force struck and eliminated three of the terrorists, and additional strikes were carried out toward areas where the remaining terrorists were believed to have fled; the results are under review. IDF forces continue searches in the area to locate and eliminate the remaining terrorists, and Southern Command forces say they are deployed in the area as agreed and will continue operating to remove any immediate threat.
IDF Spokesperson: “Additional terrorists were eliminated in the area of the underground terror infrastructure in Rafah. During the night (Friday), Unit 414 forces identified eight terrorists who emerged from the underground terror infrastructure in eastern Rafah. Immediately after the identification, the Air Force, directed by the Gaza Division (143), attacked and eliminated three of the terrorists. Subsequently, additional strikes were carried out in the areas to which the remaining terrorists attempted to flee; the results are under review. Forces on the ground continue the pursuit and extensive searches in the area in order to locate and eliminate all terrorists. Southern Command IDF forces are deployed in the area as agreed and will continue to work to remove any immediate threat.”
❌ Last night, the IDF troops operating in the central Gaza Strip identified four armed terrorists near the Yellow Line who approached the forces and posed an imminent threat to their safety. Following the identification, the Israeli Air Force, guided by ground troops, struck the terrorists in order to remove the threat.
🔸 RAFAH CROSSING TO REOPEN SUNDAY (01/02) FOR LIMITED PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT: In accordance with the ceasefire deal, Israel will reopen the Rafah Crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt for pedestrian traffic in both directions on Sunday, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories says. Movement will be allowed in coordination with Egypt, after prior Israeli security clearance, and under European Union delegation supervision, similar to the mechanism implemented in January 2025. Returns from Egypt to Gaza will be allowed only for residents who left Gaza during the war and only after prior Israeli security clearance, and an additional inspection and identification will be conducted at a screening point operated by the security system in an area under IDF control.
🚫 DIPLOMATIC UPDATE: SOUTH AFRICA EXPULSION ORDER: South Africa has declared Israeli chargé d’affaires Ariel Seidman persona non grata and ordered him to depart from the country within 72 hours.

🪖 IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said there are currently no changes to military guidelines for the Israeli public, despite ongoing tensions involving Iran.
“This Sabbath as well, like the previous ones, I wish to emphasize and reassure: we are on high alert and continuously monitoring developments. There is no change to the guidelines. If there is any change, we will update accordingly.”
🛡️ Home Front Command status: Home Front Command instructions remain unchanged at this time as noted. In long-range missile scenarios originating from Yemen or Iran, missiles travel roughly 1,600–2,000 kilometers, and early alerts may be issued several minutes before impact, ahead of the standard red alert siren.
⏱️ Warning time differences: Unlike short-range rocket fire from Gaza or Lebanon, where red alerts typically provide about 15 seconds to 1.5 minutes to reach shelter, long-range missile threats involve earlier notification through alert systems before the usual siren. This creates a clear pikuach nefesh (life-saving) requirement to receive alerts on Shabbat.
📻 Shabbat-approved silent broadcasts: Radio and TV stations switch to silent broadcast mode on Shabbat, activating only for emergency alerts and official instructions, including guidance such as whether to remain indoors. If you do not have a radio or TV, these broadcasts can also be accessed via live streams on a phone or computer. It is strongly recommended to use both a silent radio or TV source and an alert app or website.
📡 Silent radio options:
- Kol Chai: 92.8 / 93 / 102.5 FM
- Kol Barama: 92.1 / 104.3 / 105.7 / 107.6 FM
- Galei Israel: 89.3 / 94 / 106.5 FM
All stations provide live online streams.
📺 Silent TV option: Channel 14 provides silent emergency broadcasts, with a live stream available and Android and iPhone apps. Ad blockers must be disabled for alerts to function properly. There is no officially designated silent English-language broadcast channel.
📱 Home Front Command app: Shabbat and Holiday Mode: The Home Front Command app includes a dedicated “Shabbat and Holiday Mode,” which should be activated before Shabbat. When enabled, the screen remains active so alerts and official instructions can be viewed without touching the device. This allows users to see alert zones, time to reach a protected space, and updated guidance according to location.
To activate: Open the Home Front Command app → Settings → Alert Modes → Turn on “Shabbat and Holiday Mode.”
🔋 Preparation guidance: Fully charge your phone before Shabbat and ensure all alert methods, including the Home Front Command app and silent broadcasts, are set up and tested in advance.
⚠️ Bottom line: Due to immediate risk to life, monitoring alerts on Shabbat is permitted and required. Prepare in advance and stay safe.
📌 Israel Realtime does not post news updates during the holy Shabbat, except in true emergencies where life-saving information must be shared. There will be no non-emergency posts from sundown Friday until nightfall Saturday.
Wishing all our subscribers a peaceful, restorative, and restful Shabbat. Shabbat Shalom 🙏

🎯 IDF STRIKES AND ELIMINATES HEZBOLLAH OPERATIVES IN SOUTHERN LEBANON AS DRONE WEAPONS SMUGGLING ATTEMPT IS INTERCEPTED
🕑 January 31, 2026 | 7:30 PM
💥 Southern Lebanon strikes and eliminations: Last night, the IDF struck infrastructure sites and engineering vehicles used by Hezbollah terrorists to reestablish the organization’s infrastructure in the Mazraat al-Daoudiya area in southern Lebanon. The IDF said Hezbollah’s use of the sites and vehicles constitutes a violation of the ceasefire understandings between Israel and Lebanon.
Earlier yesterday, the IDF struck and eliminated a terrorist involved in attempts to reestablish Hezbollah military infrastructure in the Seddiqin area in southern Lebanon. A short while later, in response to Hezbollah’s repeated violations of the ceasefire understandings, the IDF struck and eliminated another Hezbollah terrorist involved in attempts to reestablish Hezbollah terror infrastructure in the Markaba area in southern Lebanon.
🚫 Drone weapons smuggling intercepted: Earlier yesterday, IDF observation units and the Aerial Defense Array identified a drone that crossed into Israeli territory from the west in an attempt to smuggle weapons. IDF troops intercepted and located the drone, which was carrying three M-16 rifles, and the weapons were transferred to the security forces for further processing.

⚠️ U.S. SIGNALS POTENTIAL STRIKE ON IRAN AS TRUMP WARNS OF IMMINENT ACTION AND TEHRAN VOWS POWERFUL RETALIATION
🕑 January 31, 2026 | 9:00 PM
⚠️ U.S. STRIKE SIGNALING: IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir told Israeli Channel 13 that the U.S. will launch an attack on Iran.
Senior U.S. military officials informed the leadership of a key U.S. ally in the Middle East that President Trump could authorize a U.S. attack on Iran this weekend, with strikes potentially commencing as early as Sunday if the U.S. decides to move forward.
🛸 Unidentified fighter jets and drones were also reported operating near the Iranian–Iraqi border tonight.
🇺🇸 President Trump said: “We have a large armada, flotilla — you can call it whatever you want — heading toward Iran right now, even larger than what we had in Venezuela. If we do make a deal, that is good. If we do not make a deal, we will see what happens.”
President Trump added: “Iran is talking to us, and we will see if we can do something, otherwise we will see what happens. You know, the last time they negotiated, we had to take out their nuclear, didn’t work, you know. Then we took it out a different way, and we’ll see what happens.”
President Trump also said: “We can’t tell them [Gulf states] the plan. If I told them the plan, it would be almost as bad as telling you the plan — it could be worse, actually.”
❗️ IRANIAN RESPONSES: Ali Larijani, Secretary of the Iranian National Security Council, said: “Contrary to the hype of the contrived media war, structural arrangements for negotiations [with the US] are progressing.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqhchi warned: “We have drawn important lessons and gained valuable experience from the previous war. At present, our ballistic missiles are in place, our strength remains intact, we have reviewed our key capabilities, and we are even better prepared. This is the clearest message we can deliver to the US: if there is an attack, we will respond with a shocking, swift, and very powerful counterstrike.”
Asked whether Hezbollah or the Houthis would be activated, Araqhchi said: “We have the capability to defend ourselves, and we do not need anyone else.”
Asked about military support from Russia and China, he responded: “Do you really expect me to answer that question?”
Araqhchi also said: “We are not concerned with elections in Israel or anywhere else. We have prepared ourselves for every possibility. I must say that there is no real democracy in Israel.”
Addressing casualty figures, Araqhchi said: “Sometimes they claim 30,000, sometimes 50,000 people have died. All of this is false. The death toll is 3,117, as announced by the official authorities.”
On regime change, he said: “Regime change is nothing but a fantasy. Some people have fallen into this illusion. Our system is so deeply rooted and has such strong foundations that the coming and going of individuals makes no difference. The system remains in place and continues to function.”

🛡️ IRAN DENIES ASSASSINATIONS AMID REPORTED BLASTS AS U.S. WEIGHS TARGETED ACTIONS, SANCTIONS IRGC, AND MONITORS HORMUZ NAVAL DRILLS
🕑 January 31, 2026 | 11:45 PM
💥 Explosions Reported in Iran: Israeli sources told Channel 12 they have no connection to the explosions reported in Iran earlier today. A U.S. official told CNN the explosions were not related to any U.S. military action.
Reports cited explosions in 11 locations across Iran, alongside claims that targeted assassinations had taken place, while Iranian officials attributed the incidents to “gas leaks.”
IRGC Public Relations denied reports that IRGC Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri was assassinated following an explosion in Bandar Abbas, after claims circulated that he had been eliminated in the port city.
💩 Iranian and U.S. Messaging: The IRGC said the assassination report was spread by the pro-Israel Terror Alarm account, describing it as “the operational arm of the Israeli intelligence service Mossad in psychological warfare.”
🔹U.S. officials told The Atlantic: “Targeting Iranian officials responsible for suppressing protests is under consideration”.
🗣️ CENTCOM and Strait of Hormuz Exercise: CENTCOM said Iran announced a two-day live-fire naval exercise by the IRGC in the Strait of Hormuz, scheduled to begin Sunday.
CENTCOM stated it urges the IRGC to conduct the exercise “in a manner that is safe, professional and avoids unnecessary risk,” adding that U.S. forces acknowledge Iran’s right to operate professionally in international airspace and waters.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqhchi responded: “CENTCOM is requesting professionalism from a national military the U.S. Government has listed as a ‘terrorist organization’, all while recognizing the right of that same terrorist organization to conduct military drills. The presence of outside forces in our region has always caused the exact opposite of what is declared: promoting escalation instead of de-escalation”.
🔸 Iranian Diplomatic Outreach: Iran’s foreign minister spoke by phone with the presidents of Turkey and the UAE in an effort to stop a U.S. strike. The Iranian president said Iran prefers dialogue over military confrontation.
❗️ U.S. Sanctions and Policy Actions: The U.S. Department of State said: “Secretary of State Rubio took action this week to revoke the privilege of Iranian senior officials and their family members to be in the US. Those who profit from the Iranian regime's brutal oppression are not welcome to benefit from our immigration system”.
‼️ An Iranian source said the number of deaths in the regime’s suppression has reached 86,677.
‼️ Saudi and U.S. Treasury Measures: Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman said in a private briefing in Washington that if President Trump does not follow through on threats against Iran, “the regime will end up stronger.”
U.S. officials said that three weeks ago Saudi Arabia warned against a strike due to the risk of regional war, and that the shift may reflect a belief that President Trump has decided to strike and that Saudi Arabia does not want to be seen as opposing the move.
The U.S. Treasury sanctioned six IRGC officials, including intelligence chief Majid Khademi and five provincial commanders, and sanctioned Iranian oligarch Babak Zanjani.
The Treasury also designated two London-based cryptocurrency exchanges, Zedcex and Zedxion, for alleged links to the IRGC.

‼️ U.S. SIGNALS POTENTIAL IRAN STRIKE PENDING FORCE MOBILIZATION AS DIPLOMACY STALLS, REGIONAL PROXIES ISSUE WARNINGS, ISRAEL SETS RED LINES ON SYRIA AND EXPELS SOUTH AFRICAN DIPLOMAT
🕑 February 1, 2026 | 12:30 AM
⚠️ U.S.–IRAN MILITARY AND DIPLOMATIC SIGNALS: Israeli security officials assess that U.S. President Trump intends to order an attack on Iran but is delaying the decision until American forces in the region are fully mobilized.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said Iran should heed President Trump’s warning: "The thing I would say to the Iranians, to the regime, listen to what [President Trump] is saying. This is not a person who makes promises he doesn't keep. He makes promises that he does keep."
Qatari Prime Minister Al-Thani made a brief visit to Tehran and then returned, reportedly conveying a message from the United States. Turkey, Egypt, and Qatar are working together to push for U.S.–Iran negotiations, but no breakthrough has been achieved. U.S. officials are downplaying the prospects for a diplomatic solution, saying Iran has not shown “genuine willingness” to accept Washington’s terms for a deal. Iran’s foreign minister said the negotiations with the U.S. are not serious.
⚠️ U.S. NAVAL DEPLOYMENT NEAR IRAN: An OSINT update reports the deployment of U.S. Navy vessels that could participate in a potential attack scenario involving Iran. According to the data, the naval force includes one aircraft carrier and seven guided missile destroyers.
Most of the vessels are positioned within approximately 700 kilometers of Iranian territory. This distance corresponds to the strike range of Iran’s Zolfaghar missiles, classified as short-range ballistic missiles.
💥 IRAN AND REGIONAL SECURITY DEVELOPMENTS: Initial reports indicate another explosion in the Iranian city of Qom.
Bahrain tested emergency alert systems this evening on citizens’ mobile phones.
Iranian-backed Iraqi militia Saraya Awliya al-Dam released footage it claims shows an underground site used to transport missiles. The group stated that if the U.S. attacks Iran, it intends to enter the conflict, similar to Iraqi factions such as Kataib Hezbollah and Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba.
The joint naval exercise involving China, Russia, and Iran has been postponed until the end of February.
🔹 TURKEY, SYRIA, AND REGIONAL ALIGNMENTS: Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said, “We observe that Israel is attempting to persuade the US to carry out a military attack on Iran”.
Turkey is seeking to join a defense alliance involving Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, though a source close to the Saudi military and a Gulf official told AFP that Turkey will not take part in a Saudi-Pakistani mutual defense pact.
Turkey informed the U.S. administration it supports a centralized Syrian state and rejects any Kurdish canton in the northeast.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government conveyed to Washington its opposition to a centralized Syria, preferring a federal model, and reiterated it will not accept Turkish troop presence in Syria. Netanyahu reportedly considers U.S. Syria envoy Tom Barrack “biased toward Ankara”.
▪️ DIPLOMATIC MEASURES: Israel has decided to declare South African chargé d'affaires Shaun Edward Byneveldt persona non grata and ordered him to leave the country within 72 hours.

Iranian-backed Iraqi militia Saraya Awliya al-Dam released footage it claims shows an underground site used to transport missiles. The group stated that if the U.S. attacks Iran, it intends to enter the conflict, similar to Iraqi factions such as Kataib Hezbollah and Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba.
The joint naval exercise involving China, Russia, and Iran has been postponed until the end of February.
🔹 TURKEY, SYRIA, AND REGIONAL ALIGNMENTS: Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said, “We observe that Israel is attempting to persuade the US to carry out a military attack on Iran”.
Turkey is seeking to join a defense alliance involving Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, though a source close to the Saudi military and a Gulf official told AFP that Turkey will not take part in a Saudi-Pakistani mutual defense pact.
Turkey informed the U.S. administration it supports a centralized Syrian state and rejects any Kurdish canton in the northeast.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government conveyed to Washington its opposition to a centralized Syria, preferring a federal model, and reiterated it will not accept Turkish troop presence in Syria. Netanyahu reportedly considers U.S. Syria envoy Tom Barrack “biased toward Ankara”.
▪️ DIPLOMATIC MEASURES: Israel has decided to declare South African chargé d'affaires Shaun Edward Byneveldt persona non grata and ordered him to leave the country within 72 hours.

⚠️ ISRAEL CONDUCTS CONTROLLED RAFAEL TEST AS IRAN QUAKE NEAR BUSHEHR IS RULED NATURAL, REGIONAL ACTORS SIGNAL RED LINES, U.S. APPROVES MAJOR ARMS SALES, AND RAFAH CROSSING PARTIALLY REOPENS UNDER ISRAELI OVERSIGHT
🕑 February 1, 2026 | 8:30 AM
⚠️ ISRAEL | RAFAEL TEST ACTIVITY: Rafael said a planned and controlled test is expected in the coming hours at the David Institute site in the Krayot area. Noise may be heard during the activity. Security and emergency services have been informed and will provide real-time updates if any incident occurs.
🌐 IRAN | EARTHQUAKE NEAR BUSHEHR NUCLEAR FACILITY: An earthquake measuring 5.3 was felt earlier in the Bushehr nuclear reactor area in southern Iran. A 5.3-magnitude quake struck this morning near Mohr in Fars province at a depth of 10 km and was felt across the region, including at the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant. Preliminary monitoring indicates no immediate damage or radiation leaks at the facility, which is designed to withstand significantly stronger seismic activity. The epicenter was approximately 190 km southeast of the nuclear site. Seismic wave analysis indicates the event was tectonic, with waveforms consistent with the Zagros fold-and-thrust belt rather than an explosion. The 10 km depth and the implied yield required for a 5.3 event were cited as additional factors ruling out a man-made cause.
‼️ SAUDI ARABIA | MESSAGES TO IRAN AND REGIONAL POSITIONING: Saudi Arabia has reportedly sent messages to Iran saying it would not stay silent if U.S. bases on its territory are attacked.
A senior Saudi official told Asharq Al-Awsat that reports claiming Saudi Arabia has changed its stance are not true. According to the official, the Kingdom supports a diplomatic solution to disputes between the U.S. and Iran and opposes the use of its airspace or territory for any military action against Iran.
💰 UNITED STATES | ARMS SALES APPROVED: The U.S. State Department approved a $6.67 billion weapons package to Israel and a $9 billion package to Saudi Arabia. The Israel sales are split into four packages: 30 Apache attack helicopters ($3.8 billion), 3,250 light tactical vehicles ($1.98 billion), power units for armored vehicles ($740 million), and a small number of light utility helicopters ($150 million).
🔹 TURKEY | PROPOSED ROLE IN IRAN CRISIS: Turkish officials said President Trump may give Turkey a chance to try to resolve the Iran crisis. The officials said Turkey may propose transferring Iran’s enriched uranium to Turkey with a commitment that it will never be returned to Iran.
⚠️ ISRAEL | OFFICIAL WARNING ON IRAN: Israeli Agriculture and Food Development Minister Avi Dichter said: "Israel will respond if it is attacked by Iran. We do not start wars with those who do not attack us".
🔹 IRAN | RESPONSE TO EU DESIGNATION: Iran declared the armies of EU countries as “terrorist groups” in retaliation for the EU designating the IRGC as a “terrorist organization.”
Mohammad Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, has tasked the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission with examining the “terrorist nature” of European countries’ military attachés serving in embassies in Iran.
🛃 GAZA | RAFAH CROSSING TO REOPEN: For the first time since October 7, the Rafah Crossing will open today for the exit and entry of Gaza residents. The crossing will be limited to 150 people per day, and civilians wishing to enter the Gaza Strip will do so under Israeli supervision. Egypt will submit the lists 24 hours in advance, and Israel will approve them subject to established criteria.
🔹 SYRIA | PRO-ISRAEL DRUZE DEMONSTRATIONS IN SUWAYDA: Pro-Israel demonstrations were reported in Suwayda, southern Syria, under the slogan "To be or not to be." Demonstrators displayed Israeli flags and images of Prime Minister Netanyahu and called for independence from Damascus.presence in Syria.

🎯 IDF STRIKES HEZBOLLAH OPERATIVE AND ENGINEERING VEHICLES IN SOUTHERN LEBANON OVER CEASEFIRE VIOLATIONS
🕑 February 1, 2026 | 3:30 PM
💥 SOUTHERN LEBANON | STRIKES ON HEZBOLLAH ACTIVITY: A short while ago, in response to Hezbollah’s repeated violations of the ceasefire understandings, the IDF struck a Hezbollah terrorist in the Al-Dweir area in southern Lebanon. Earlier today, the IDF also struck several Hezbollah engineering vehicles in the Mazra‘at Aboudiyeh area in southern Lebanon. "The vehicles were struck while being used by Hezbollah terrorists to reestablish terror infrastructure sites in the area," the military says, adding that the activity constituted a violation of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. The IDF says the heavy machinery was being used to restore Hezbollah infrastructure, and that the vehicles were targeted in the village of Mazra‘at Aboudiyeh, south of Sidon.
❌ SOUTHERN LEBANON | GROUND OPERATIONS AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEMOLITION: During recent operations in southern Lebanon, the IDF says ground troops demolished several Hezbollah sites, including weapon depots. Troops of the 769th "Hiram" Regional Brigade operated in several Lebanese border villages and destroyed an anti-tank missile storage facility, a weapons depot, a building used by Hezbollah to launch anti-tank missiles at Israel during the war, and additional infrastructure.
The IDF says the presence of the weapons and Hezbollah infrastructure in the area "constitutes a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon."

🛡️ ISRAEL–U.S. COORDINATE IRAN CONTINGENCIES AS IDF CHIEF HOLDS UNANNOUNCED WASHINGTON TALKS, U.S. WEIGHS STRIKE WINDOW, AND REGIONAL AIR DEFENSE POSTURE EXPANDS
🕑 February 1, 2026 | 5:00 PM
🇮🇱 ISRAEL–U.S. SECURITY COORDINATION: IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir made an unannounced two-day visit to the United States over the weekend for discussions with senior American officials amid ongoing tensions with Iran. The visit, cleared for publication, focused on operational coordination with U.S. counterparts ahead of a potential Iran strike scenario.
Senior IDF officials accompanying Zamir in Washington included Maj. Gen. Hidai Zilberman, head of the IDF Planning Directorate; incoming Israeli Air Force chief Brig. Gen. Omer Tischler; Brig. Gen. Amit Adler, head of the IDF Tevel international cooperation unit; and Brig. Gen. Manny Liberty, head of the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Operational Division.
⚠️ U.S. STRIKE TIMING AND ISRAELI ASSESSMENTS: Speaking to Army Radio, Zamir said a U.S. strike on Iran could occur within a window of two weeks to two months, while emphasizing, “We do not expect an American attack on Iran in the coming days.”
Galei Tzahal reported that Israeli assessments indicate no expectation of an imminent strike and noted that the United States does not fully share its decision-making processes with Israel. The outlet added that senior security officials expect continued tension in the coming weeks as Iran enters the Ten Days of Dawn marking the anniversary of the Islamic revolution, and reported that Iran has not exceeded its pre–12-Day War ballistic missile stockpile.
🛡️ U.S. MILITARY POSTURE AND DEFENSE DEPLOYMENTS: Reporting indicates the U.S. military could conduct limited airstrikes on Iran if ordered by the president, while a decisive strike would likely trigger a proportional Iranian response requiring extensive air defense coverage for Israel and U.S. forces.
The United States already has air defenses deployed in the region, including naval assets capable of intercepting aerial threats, and is in the process of deploying additional THAAD and Patriot systems to bases hosting U.S. troops in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. These deployments are not yet complete. Separately, USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) and its carrier strike group have withdrawn from the Gulf of Oman to the Arabian Sea.
❗️ ISRAELI DECISION POINT ON IRAN: According to Walla, Israel may soon face a decision on whether to act militarily against Iran independently or coordinate any operation with the United States, even if such coordination risks friction with the Trump administration. The outlet reported that Israel could be required to choose between unilateral action and cooperation with Washington under constrained political conditions.
🔹 U.S. ADMINISTRATION SIGNALS: U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said, “We were close to launching an attack on Iran in January, but backing down was a wise decision after weighing the consequences.” He added, “Trump has not yet made a decision on Iran. Everyone would welcome a settlement under which Iran accepts that it has no future in possessing nuclear weapons and ceases to threaten Israel and the US. If Trump reaches a deal with Iran, that would be the ideal outcome. Otherwise, he will not hesitate to launch an attack.”
❗️ IRANIAN POSITIONS AND WARNINGS: An Iranian diplomat told The Washington Post, “No negotiation is possible in the current situation with the US. Trump’s conditions for talks are unreasonable and non-negotiable.” Western assessments indicate that following President Trump’s public support for protesters in Iran, Tehran now views a potential war with the United States as an “existential threat.”
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warned, “Americans should know that if they start a war, this time it will be a regional war.” He also said, “The recent sedition was akin to a coup, but it has been foiled.”

⚠️ ISRAEL CONVENES SECURITY ASSESSMENT AFTER U.S. TALKS AS IDF STRIKES HEZBOLLAH IN LEBANON, PREPARES HOME FRONT DRILL, AND COORDINATES WITH U.S. AMID IRAN MILITARY WARNINGS AND DIPLOMATIC SIGNALS
🕑 February 1, 2026 | 9:00 PM
♟️ ISRAEL | SECURITY ASSESSMENT AND OPERATIONAL READINESS: Israeli media report that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is convening a security assessment with Defense Minister Israel Katz, Mossad chief David Barnea, and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir following Zamir’s return from Washington.
Katz’s office said Katz and Zamir are also discussed the regional situation and the IDF’s operational readiness for any scenario after Zamir’s meetings in the United States on Iran.
⚠️ IRAN | ISRAELI PRESSURE ON U.S. POLICY: Israeli media also report that Israel is trying to convince the United States to launch an extensive campaign to bring down the Iranian regime.
🛡️ ISRAEL | HOME FRONT DRILL: The IDF Home Front Command announced a pre-planned overnight drill in the northern coastal city of Haifa as part of the 2026 training program. The military said there is no concern about a security incident and noted that in a real event, residents would be updated by security forces.
💥 LEBANON | IDF STRIKE: The IDF says it carried out an airstrike a short while ago targeting a Hezbollah operative in the southern Lebanon town of Harouf.
⚠️ IRAN | MILITARY NOTAMS AND OFFICIAL STATEMENTS: Iran has issued multiple military NOTAMs effective February 1–4 warning of gunfire exercises, UAV/RPA activity, and rocket launches across several regions.
The notices describe hazardous airspace due to live military activity, including a defined corridor for rocket launches using multiple coordinates, with no indication of launches toward Israel or neighboring states.
Saeed Jalili, the Supreme Leader’s representative to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council: “Our hypersonic missiles will continue to shake Tel Aviv. These are the sources of our nation’s power. The enemy is constantly seeking to target those who are responsible for Iran’s progress and to obstruct their movement in order to prevent further advancement—and this in itself is a sign of the strength of the Iranian people.”
Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s Foreign Minister: “I am not afraid of war, because our forces are fully prepared. The best way to prevent war is to be ready for it. We hope that nothing will undermine the security of the Strait of Hormuz. If a war breaks out, large parts of the Middle East will be drawn into it. Mediation efforts are underway by friendly countries in the region to restore a minimum level of trust with the United States. It is difficult, but I see a possibility for renewed dialogue. We are prepared to discuss only the nuclear program.”
🗣️ UNITED STATES | IRAN MESSAGING AND DIPLOMACY CHANNELS: Reporter: The Iranian Supreme Leader said that a U.S. attack could spark a regional war. Do you have any response to that? Trump: Why wouldn’t he say that? Of course he’s going to say that. But we have the biggest, most powerful ships in the world over there. Very close — a couple of days. Hopefully we’ll make a deal. If we don’t make a deal, then we’ll find out whether or not he was right.
The Trump administration has told Iran through multiple channels that it is open to negotiations, and multiple Arab countries are reportedly trying to arrange a meeting in Ankara between Steve Witkoff and Iranian officials, amid concern that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei may not authorize acceptance of U.S. terms.

♟️ ISRAEL | SECURITY ASSESSMENT AND OPERATIONAL READINESS: Israeli media report that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is convening a security assessment with Defense Minister Israel Katz, Mossad chief David Barnea, and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir following Zamir’s return from Washington.
Katz’s office said Katz and Zamir are also discussed the regional situation and the IDF’s operational readiness for any scenario after Zamir’s meetings in the United States on Iran.
⚠️ IRAN | ISRAELI PRESSURE ON U.S. POLICY: Israeli media also report that Israel is trying to convince the United States to launch an extensive campaign to bring down the Iranian regime.
🛡️ ISRAEL | HOME FRONT DRILL: The IDF Home Front Command announced a pre-planned overnight drill in the northern coastal city of Haifa as part of the 2026 training program. The military said there is no concern about a security incident and noted that in a real event, residents would be updated by security forces.
💥 LEBANON | IDF STRIKE: The IDF says it carried out an airstrike a short while ago targeting a Hezbollah operative in the southern Lebanon town of Harouf.
⚠️ IRAN | MILITARY NOTAMS AND OFFICIAL STATEMENTS: Iran has issued multiple military NOTAMs effective February 1–4 warning of gunfire exercises, UAV/RPA activity, and rocket launches across several regions.
The notices describe hazardous airspace due to live military activity, including a defined corridor for rocket launches using multiple coordinates, with no indication of launches toward Israel or neighboring states.
Saeed Jalili, the Supreme Leader’s representative to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council: “Our hypersonic missiles will continue to shake Tel Aviv. These are the sources of our nation’s power. The enemy is constantly seeking to target those who are responsible for Iran’s progress and to obstruct their movement in order to prevent further advancement—and this in itself is a sign of the strength of the Iranian people.”
Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s Foreign Minister: “I am not afraid of war, because our forces are fully prepared. The best way to prevent war is to be ready for it. We hope that nothing will undermine the security of the Strait of Hormuz. If a war breaks out, large parts of the Middle East will be drawn into it. Mediation efforts are underway by friendly countries in the region to restore a minimum level of trust with the United States. It is difficult, but I see a possibility for renewed dialogue. We are prepared to discuss only the nuclear program.”
🗣️ UNITED STATES | IRAN MESSAGING AND DIPLOMACY CHANNELS: Reporter: The Iranian Supreme Leader said that a U.S. attack could spark a regional war. Do you have any response to that? Trump: Why wouldn’t he say that? Of course he’s going to say that. But we have the biggest, most powerful ships in the world over there. Very close — a couple of days. Hopefully we’ll make a deal. If we don’t make a deal, then we’ll find out whether or not he was right.
The Trump administration has told Iran through multiple channels that it is open to negotiations, and multiple Arab countries are reportedly trying to arrange a meeting in Ankara between Steve Witkoff and Iranian officials, amid concern that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei may not authorize acceptance of U.S. terms.

🎯 IDF ENFORCES RAFAH CROSSING SECURITY OVERSIGHT, ELIMINATES TERROR OPERATIVES, AND CARRIES OUT DETERRENCE MEASURES
🕑 February 2, 2026 | 8:30 AM
🛃 RAFAH CROSSING SECURITY OVERSIGHT: The IDF published footage of a new military checkpoint for Gazans entering the Gaza Strip from Egypt, as the Rafah Border Crossing is set to open for pedestrian traffic today. The checkpoint, dubbed “Regavim,” is located in IDF-held Rafah just outside the Rafah Crossing between Gaza and Egypt.
The IDF says security officers will verify identities against defense-approved lists and conduct thorough inspections of luggage before those returning to the Strip are permitted to continue toward Hamas-controlled areas. Israel will supervise the exit of Gazans to Egypt remotely from a control room using facial recognition to verify approved names and open a gate at the crossing, while Palestinian Authority representatives and European Union monitors stationed at Rafah will conduct security screenings for those leaving the Strip.
❌ TERROR OPERATIVE ELIMINATED IN SOUTHERN GAZA: The IDF says troops eliminated a Gazan terror operative who crossed the Yellow Line in the Strip’s south earlier yesterday. Several operatives crossed the line and approached troops of the 7th Armored Brigade “in a manner that posed an immediate threat.”
“Immediately after the identification, the troops fired toward the terrorists in order to remove the threat. One of the terrorists was eliminated,” the IDF says.
🎯 HEZBOLLAH ENGINEERING COMMANDER ELIMINATED IN SOUTHERN LEBANON: The IDF says it carried out an airstrike in the southern Lebanese town of Doueir that eliminated Ali Dawoud Amich, identified by the military as a division head in Hezbollah’s engineering department.
The IDF says he was involved in efforts to rehabilitate Hezbollah terror infrastructure in the Doueir area and advance terror plans against IDF troops.
❌ HOME OF TERRORIST DEMOLISHED IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA: The IDF says troops operated overnight in the town of Halhul and demolished the home of Mahmoud Abed, one of two terrorist who carried out a deadly stabbing and shooting attack on July 10, 2025, at the Gush Etzion Junction.
In the attack, Abed and Malik Salem fatally stabbed security guard Shalev Zvuluny, 22, outside a supermarket, seized his handgun, and exchanged fire with a soldier and an armed civilian before being eliminated.
The IDF says Salem’s home in the village of Bazariya was demolished in December, and that Israel demolishes the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly and severe terror attacks.
▪️ U.S. AMBASSADOR: ISRAEL’S ENEMIES ARE U.S. ENEMIES: US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee: "Every enemy that Israel has is an enemy of the US. We are quite aware of that. Who got the F-35s? Israel. Turkey will not get F-35 jets. Turkey, by law, would not be able to get them unless they made major changes in the hardware they have from Russia".

🛡️ ISRAEL CONDUCTS IRAN MISSILE MASS-CASUALTY DRILL, SHARES SENSITIVE INTEL WITH U.S., AND DEFINES RED LINES AS IRAN THREATENS REGIONAL WAR AND GLOBAL SHIPPING
🕑 February 2, 2026 | 9:00 AM
⚠️ HOME FRONT COMMAND DRILL SIMULATES IRANIAN MISSILE STRIKES: IDF Home Front Command conducted a large-scale rescue and mass-casualty drill at the Zikim base near the Gaza border, simulating extensive destruction from Iranian missile strikes. The exercise marked the first return of rescue forces to the base since October 7 and included scenarios modeled on recent conflict lessons, including the effects of Iranian cluster-type missiles that disperse sub-munitions over wide urban areas.
Forces trained in rubble extraction, handling unexploded ordnance, managing large multi-street destruction zones, and operating in earthquake-like conditions.
The drill also included compound-threat scenarios such as follow-on strikes on rescue teams, armed attacks at destruction sites, and cyber disruptions that disabled command systems, with commanders emphasizing faster rescue methods and expanded capabilities across reserve battalions.
🤝 ISRAEL–U.S. SECURITY COORDINATION: Israeli officials describe current Israel–U.S. security relations as unprecedented across all levels, including the IDF, the CIA, and political leadership. Israel is sharing with Washington what it calls its most sensitive intelligence, including lessons from its recent limited confrontation with Iran.
Senior Israeli security officials have held a series of high-level coordination meetings in Washington led by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, following earlier visits by the heads of Mossad and Military Intelligence. Discussions focused on intelligence sharing, operational readiness, and contingency planning, as the U.S. reinforces its regional posture with naval assets and layered missile defense systems to protect Israel, U.S. forces, and regional allies.
⚠️ IRAN NEGOTIATIONS AND ISRAELI RED LINES: Israeli officials told Channel 12: "We have warned Washington about Tehran's deception tactics. Israel has set three conditions for reaching a good deal with Iran. These include ending Iran's nuclear and missile programs and halting its support for proxies in the Middle East".
Israeli assessments hold that negotiations are unlikely to yield a comprehensive agreement. Israeli officials warn that a deal addressing only the nuclear file while leaving missiles and regional proxies intact would be a worst-case outcome.
⚠️ REGIONAL POSTURE AND TIMELINE ASSESSMENTS: While the U.S. seeks to block Iran’s nuclear ambitions, it is also demanding limits on ballistic missiles and proxy activity, demands Iran continues to reject. Israel is careful not to appear as pushing the U.S. toward war, while warning that inaction could be perceived regionally as weakness.
Iran has escalated rhetoric and threats as the U.S. continues its force buildup, with a final decision still pending. Israeli assessments describe the diplomatic-military decision window as weeks, not months, and note that the U.S. may ask Israel to join an attack on Iran due to Israel’s experience.
