OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), Israel is stepping up preparations for a possible renewed military confrontation with Iran, amid growing security assessments that any future conflict could prove more complex and costly than previous rounds, as Tehran has adapted its military tactics and drawn lessons from earlier Israeli and US attacks.
According to Israeli media reports published Wednesday, Israel is considering a swift, intensive military campaign aimed at achieving its objectives within a short timeframe while avoiding a prolonged war that could escalate into a wider regional confrontation. However, Israeli security officials acknowledge that the course and duration of any future conflict would be difficult to predict or control.
The Israeli military establishment reportedly believes Iran has reviewed its previous military shortcomings and studied Israeli and US operational methods, potentially enabling it to counter strategies that proved effective in earlier confrontations. This has prompted Israel to reassess its operational plans rather than assume that previous tactics would deliver the same results.
Israeli assessments suggest that Iran would likely rely primarily on its missile arsenal and air defense systems in any renewed confrontation, seeking to challenge Israeli and US air superiority and increase the cost of military operations against it.
After previous Israeli strikes destroyed Iranian fighter jets before takeoff, Israel expects Tehran to rely primarily on missiles and air defenses over direct aerial combat.
Israel also considers military coordination with Washington essential to any potential campaign against Iran, given the superior US intelligence and military capabilities and its ability to provide operational support.
While these reported preparations do not mean Israel has made a final decision to attack Iran, they show that military action remains on the table as concerns grow that a new conflict could be longer, more unpredictable, and more costly than past rounds.
