US media: Israeli officials believe the US may launch an attack on Iran in the near future
Sputnik News, Moscow, January 16 - According to Axios news website in the US, Israeli officials believe that the US may launch an attack on Iran in the near future.
The report said: "US officials stated that military action plans against Iran are still under study. Israeli officials believe that although the US decision to delay the strike has been made, it may still launch a military strike in the near future."
An Israeli official told the media that the current US plan includes striking Iran's security agencies, but Israel believes this plan is not strong enough to significantly destabilize the Iranian regime.
Previously, Fox News Channel cited sources as saying that due to President Trump's consideration of launching an attack on Iran, the US will deploy troops to the Middle East.
At the end of December 2025, protests erupted in Iran due to currency devaluation, which later turned into riots against the government. The Internet in Iran was shut down, and reports emerged about deaths of protesters and law enforcement officers. On January 12, the Iranian government stated that it had controlled the situation.
President Trump expressed support for the rioters and allowed all action plans against Iran, including air strikes. Iran stated that such actions constitute a threat to national sovereignty.
