The Mossad is now pushing for Israel to bomb Iran directly. This is happening in the midst of Israel’s are against the terrorist Houthis, as we read in the Times of Israel:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Sunday that Israel would act against the Houthi rebels in Yemen with the same force it used against Iran’s other “terrorist arms,” appearing to indicate the start of a stepped-up campaign against the Islamic Republic’s proxy group, after a ballistic missile crashed into a Tel Aviv playground over the weekend.

At the same time, Israeli reports said that senior defense officials, including the head of the Mossad spy agency, believe the correct move is to attack Iran directly, rather than go for its proxy group in Yemen.

Almost the entirety of Israel’s top military officials are pushing for a bombardment of Iran:

Even as Israel appears poised to ramp up its attacks on the Houthis, Israel’s Channel 12 reported on Sunday evening that almost all of the top brass of Israel’s defense establishment think that Israel should attack “inside Iranian territory.”

Anonymous Israeli politicians and military leaders believe that an Israeli attack on Iran is nigh:

Quoting unnamed Israeli political and military leaders, Channel 12 reported that Tehran’s leadership believes Israel may soon attack it, and is holding frenzied consultations to decide what to do in the event that it does.

The report, which the outlet stressed was approved by the military censor, said that at recent meetings of Israel’s political and military leadership, officials have said Iran believes Israel chose to accept a ceasefire with Hezbollah in Lebanon in order to free up resources to deal directly with Iran and exact a price from the regime.

But, there are Israeli officials who are warning against escalating conflict with Iran:

The report also stated that Israel’s leadership has discussed doing everything in its power to ensure Iran is not able to regain its grip on Lebanon after the severe blows dealt to Hezbollah by Israel, or on Syria following the ousting of deposed president Bashar al-Assad earlier this month.

Despite the reported support by senior defense officials for direct strikes on Iran, Channel 12 also cited unnamed sources as saying Israel should avoid a protracted confrontation with Tehran right now since it would not serve Israel’s interests — though it must still nurture and advance its operational capabilities regarding Iran.

Now there are fears that Iran, disconnected from its allies and more isolated, will resort to nuclear weapons:

Speaking to CNN on Sunday, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said he was briefing Trump’s team on the risk that the Biden administration believes to be credible.

Israeli strikes on Iranian facilities, including missile factories and air defenses, have reduced Tehran’s conventional military capabilities, Sullivan told CNN.

“It’s no wonder there are voices (in Iran) saying, ‘Hey, maybe we need to go for a nuclear weapon right now… Maybe we have to revisit our nuclear doctrine,’” Sullivan said.

He added that he has told the Trump team to be “vigilant,” adding: “It’s a risk that I’m personally briefing the incoming team on about the threat of nuclear escalation.”
