Ynet News, an Israeli media outlet, reported on the United States’ retreat regarding a planned attack on Iran, claiming that operations set for this weekend have been rescheduled for another time.
Although this news remains unconfirmed, Israeli media indicated that the regime was prepared for potential US military intervention against Iran, including keeping emergency shelters open.Previously a former commander of the Israeli Navy pointed out that contrary to media speculation the likelihood of war between the US and Iran in the coming days is low. He emphasized that the threats being discussed do not represent the main narrative.
Additionally The New York Times reported on the increase of US military equipment in the Middle East. When Donald Trump the US President announced in January that an American fleet was heading towards Iran he compared it to the forces used in operations against Venezuela stating that this military could execute its mission ‘swiftly.’ Now as Trump considers various options against Iran including limited strikes experts warn that attacking Iran would be significantly more complex than operations in Venezuela and could potentially draw the US into a prolonged conflict.
