Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to convene a high-level security meeting on Thursday to discuss the latest developments related to Iran, according to reports by the public broadcaster of 'Israel'.
The move comes amid reports of stalled diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran, following difficulties in coordinating talks that were expected to take place in Oman on Friday.
The meeting is expected to focus on assessing the military readiness of the occupation and examining the possibility that the United States could resort to military options against Iranian nuclear and missile facilities.

Intensive coordination with Washington
The meeting follows a series of high-level engagements, most notably Netanyahu’s meeting on Tuesday with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, attended by senior security officials including the army chief of staff and the head of the Mossad.
During those discussions, Netanyahu reportedly reiterated the occupation’s so-called “red lines,” which include zero uranium enrichment inside Iran, the removal of enriched uranium stockpiles, a halt to Iran’s ballistic missile program, and an end to its support for regional allies.
The 'Israeli' government is seeking to persuade the administration of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, to pursue military action should no agreement be reached that meets these conditions.
US strike scenarios and regional deployments
According to assessments within 'Israel', any potential U.S. military action would be limited in scope and primarily target Iran’s nuclear capabilities and missile infrastructure.
These discussions come as President Trump has warned of “bad things” if diplomacy fails, amid significant U.S. military reinforcements in the region, including aircraft carriers and destroyers deployed in the Arabian Sea.
Thursday’s meeting is also expected to address possible Iranian responses and ensure close coordination with Washington, as officials seek to prevent the situation from escalating into a wider regional conflict that neither side is currently seeking.
