'Israel' on alert as US and 'Israel prepare for possible major strike on Iran

• Cabinet meeting delayed: 'Israel' postponed a political-security cabinet meeting to avoid triggering an Iranian preemptive strike before a formal US-'Israel' decision.
• High alert maintained: Despite the delay, 'Israeli' security and rescue agencies remain on heightened alert amid assessments that US President Donald Trump could soon authorize joint military action.
• US military buildup: The US has reportedly deployed a major naval and air force presence to the region, capable of sustaining a prolonged campaign, with the timeline possibly narrowing to days.

According to a report published on Ynet, the political-security cabinet meeting originally scheduled for Thursday has been postponed until Sunday.

This move is reportedly intended to prevent an Iranian miscalculation that could lead to a preemptive strike before a formal decision on American-'Israeli' action is finalized.

Despite the delay, security and rescue agencies remain on high alert as assessments suggest U.S. President Donald Trump may soon authorize a joint, prolonged military operation.

Trump’s "Armada" and the Approaching "Hour of Doom" Ynet reports that the United States has advanced a "beautiful armada" to the region, capable of sustaining a prolonged war rather than a single round of strikes. While the exact timing remains uncertain and subject to President Trump’s decision, the timeline for action appears to be shortening from weeks to potentially just a few days.

Although considerations such as Ramadan and the Winter Olympics in Italy are noted, it remains unclear how much weight these factors hold for the U.S. administration.

Strategic Goals

Beyond Ballistic Missiles The report indicates that the American objectives for such an attack could extend beyond destroying ballistic missile arrays to include an attempt to overthrow the Iranian regime. Targets may include Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and Revolutionary Guard institutions.

The strategy relies on a series of blows over several weeks, aimed at encouraging the Iranian people to take to the streets with the belief that the U.S. will "go all the way" to assist them.

'Israeli' Involvement and Multi-Front Readiness According to Ynet, the working assumption is that 'Israel' will not sit on the sidelines this time.

The U.S. reportedly seeks to utilize 'Israeli' military power and IOF experience. 'Israel’s' primary mission would likely be the destruction of Iran's ballistic missile array. Simultaneously, the Home Front Command and rescue agencies have been instructed to prepare for war, as Iran is expected to launch missiles at 'Israel' even if the IOF does not initially participate in the American strikes.

The Regional Axis Hezbollah and the Houthis

The report highlights a significant threat from Iran’s proxies. It is assessed that the Houthis in Yemen will immediately join the conflict by launching missiles and drones at 'Israel'. Furthermore, unlike in previous conflicts, there is a likely scenario that Hezbollah will not remain idle.

In such an event, Ynet notes that 'Israel' may use the opportunity to "clear the table" regarding the threats on its northern border.

Diplomatic Deadlock and Iranian Defiance Negotiations appear to be reaching a breaking point. Ynet quotes U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance stating that while talks have occurred, Iran is unwilling to meet the President’s "red lines." While some hope the massive military buildup will force Tehran to give in at the last minute, Iranian leadership continues to display defiance, with Khamenei threatening to shoot down American aircraft carriers, a stance 'Israeli' officials describe as "excessive arrogance."
