Israel ramps up readiness for potential Iran conflict
Israel's defence establishment said it has bolstered readiness for a possible future war with Iran, citing Tehran's adapted tactics and its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. Earlier, the IDF said it was preparing plans for two possible escalation scenarios involving Iran while U. S. officials continued diplomatic talks, and Israeli officials noted that President Trump favoured a diplomatic resolution. The military also reported that the Mossad and the IDF differed on the scope of a joint U. S.
-Israel strike, with the intelligence agency favouring a broader operation and the army urging caution on timing and objectives. Defence Minister Israel Katz reiterated that Tehran is pursuing nuclear weapons and warned Hezbollah against joining any renewed conflict. The IDF had previously said it remained on standby for a potential operation against Iran, noting the absence of a major U. S. force buildup but stressing that Washington's decisions could quickly alter the situation.
