Israeli media reports that the security cabinet has instructed the armed forces to intensify preparations for a potential strike on Iran, following the Iranian government’s warning of expanded retaliation.
The order, issued by the cabinet that includes the prime minister and senior ministers, comes amid heightened tensions after Iran announced it would broaden its response if Israel were to proceed with an attack.
Israel’s decision to step up military readiness reflects concerns over possible Iranian counter‑measures, though the exact nature of the preparations has not been disclosed.
Iran has previously cautioned that it would respond more forcefully to any Israeli action, a warning that has added to the already volatile security environment in the region.
No further details have been released by either side, and the situation remains closely monitored by observers worldwide.
