Israel Raises Alert Levels and Convenes Security Cabinet as Iran Unrest Deepens

Israeli leaders are accelerating contingency planning in response to intensifying protests in Iran.

Overview

  • Israel’s security cabinet met Tuesday night, with Mossad, Shin Bet and military chiefs briefing ministers, and no decision on military action announced.
  • Security sources said the IDF elevated readiness across several systems, including air defenses and the Iron Dome, to guard against potential spillover.
  • Military planners are preparing options for a possible expansion of operations depending on developments inside Iran and across the region.
  • Sources told Reuters that ministers were briefed on a potential regime collapse in Iran and that Israeli assessments indicated President Trump had decided to intervene, with the scope still unclear.
  • President Trump urged Iranian demonstrators to escalate protests, canceled meetings with Iranian officials, and wrote “HELP IS ON ITS WAY” on his social platform.
