Israel’s security cabinet, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has asked the military to step up preparations for another possible attack on Iran.
According to Israeli public broadcaster KAN, military forces have been placed on maximum alert as further developments are awaited. The decision comes amid tensions in the Middle East. The confrontation between Israel, the United States and Iran entered a new phase after the February 28 attacks, when the US and Israel struck Iranian territory and killed some of the country’s senior leaders.

Iran responded with strikes on Israel, US bases in the Persian Gulf and the countries that host them. Tehran also blocked the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Although Iran and the US signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding in June, the situation remains unstable: the ceasefire has been violated several times, and the strait remains effectively blocked. This has heightened concerns about security and international oil supplies.
Meanwhile, Washington is considering resuming direct talks with Iran. The Wall Street Journal reports that US Vice President JD Vance is considering a face-to-face meeting with Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.
US and Middle Eastern sources cited by the newspaper say President Donald Trump has told close aides and foreign partners that he supports renewed talks between Vance and Tehran. He has authorized the vice president to negotiate, while also claiming that the US has, in effect, won the war.
