Security officials in Israel are increasingly concerned that Iran may preemptively launch a broad attack, according to a report by Hillel Bitton Rosen for News 14. The assessment suggests Tehran might alter its operational pattern after being surprised twice by Israeli actions, aiming to deliver the first strike in a future conflict. Such an attack could reignite hostilities.

Israel fears the Iranian regime may exploit the element of surprise rather than await further Israeli actions on its territory. Despite severe economic hardship, Iran continues to allocate significant resources to rebuilding its military capabilities, focusing on increased production of ballistic missiles, launchers, and drones, and restoring systems damaged in previous strikes. The government's focus remains on strengthening its offensive power, directing available resources towards military buildup.
