Israeli officials: The tension has reached a climax and is on the brink of explosion.

An Israeli official stated, "The current tension has reached its peak and is on the brink of explosion." The Israeli side assesses that U.S. President Trump "is closer than ever to launching a significant strike against Iran, but there is currently no conclusion." Israel has now raised its alert level. The official noted, "We estimate that Trump has not yet decided on the scale of the attack, and it is still unclear whether he wants Israel to participate in the first phase of the action." He added that Trump believes negotiations are merely a "waste of time" and is "angry, frustrated, and upset." According to him, the proposal put forward by the White House supports Israel's assessment that a large-scale, targeted attack on energy facilities could shake the Iranian regime. The official stated, "Such a strong strike could be completed in a timely manner and would not necessarily trigger an 'energy war' that leads to rising global energy prices. The targets would be specific facilities that could have a significant impact on the Iranian population. It is still unclear whether Trump will choose this plan or continue to maintain the blockade until the midterm elections. This is not a question of 'whether to take action,' but rather 'when to act.' All signs indicate that Trump seems to have no choice but to push in this direction."
