Israeli Military Officials: Trump is Unpredictable, We are Prepared for a Response from the Islamic Republic

The Haaretz newspaper reported that Israeli security officials have raised their security alerts following increased reports of a potential military action by the United States against the Islamic Republic. Haaretz quoted senior Israeli military officials as saying that Donald Trump's decision-making is unpredictable and that even if he decides to attack, there is a possibility he could change his mind at the last moment. According to these officials, although no official signs of a definitive decision by the U.S. to attack have been published, Israeli defense agencies are taking the possibility of such a scenario seriously and are preparing for various situations. The report also stated that Israeli officials emphasized it is unclear whether the Islamic Republic would choose Israel as a direct target for its response in the event of a potential U.S. attack. The Persian page of the Israeli army wrote on Wednesday that amid escalating tensions with the Islamic Republic of Iran, Eyal Zamir, Chief of Staff of the Israeli army, stated during a visit to the Nevatim Air Base that the Israeli army is prepared to act against any enemy threatening the country. Since the onset of widespread protests in Iran, Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed his support for the Iranian people and previously warned the Islamic Republic that it would face a U.S. response if it continued the killings and executions of protesters. Following these warnings, the Islamic Republic halted the execution of protesters. Media reports have indicated that the number of deaths from protests caused by the Islamic Republic exceeds twelve thousand. The U.S. President, who traveled to Davos, Switzerland, to attend the World Economic Forum, stated in an interview with CNBC on Wednesday regarding Iran that his warnings have prevented the deaths of 'thousands.' In response to the question of whether one should wait regarding Iran, he said, 'I guess so!' He described the Islamic Republic as a 'difficult place' and added that the U.S. has dealt a 'very hard blow' to it regarding the nuclear issue and has halted its nuclear program. The U.S. President also emphasized that if the B-2 bombers had not attacked, the Islamic Republic would likely have acquired nuclear weapons by now. He warned that the Islamic Republic should not pursue nuclear action and added that if such an action were taken, the U.S. would be informed and would respond again. Trump concluded by stating that the Islamic Republic is always seeking to advance its nuclear programs, but ultimately 'will understand that it cannot' achieve this goal. President Trump in Davos: By destroying the nuclear program, the Islamic Republic is no longer the bully of the region.
