It seems that Trump is not eager to attack Iran, but that doesn't rule out the possibility that he will do so

The article discusses Trump's apparent reluctance to engage in military action against Iran despite high tensions, while noting that Israeli security forces are preparing for any potential outcome.

In the current term of his presidency, Donald Trump consistently appears in public through speeches, press conferences, and media interviews. Recently, his body language and the way he speaks about the crisis with Iran suggest a lack of enthusiasm for military engagement. However, there is a recognition that a military action may be required in the near future, creating a contradictory situation. Despite Trump's reluctance, the dangers associated with the crisis remain high.

Israeli security agencies are on high alert, preparing for various scenarios that might arise from escalating tensions. The apparent contradictory signals from Trump—from reluctance to the reality of military necessity—heighten concerns in Israel regarding how to navigate these potential challenges. As Israel is positioned closely to the possible fallout of any U.S. military decision, the operational readiness of its armed forces reflects significant apprehension regarding future U.S. actions.

Moreover, Trump's administration has a complex history with Iran, and any military strike would be significant not only for U.S.-Iranian relations but also for regional stability in the Middle East. The Israeli government is closely monitoring developments, understanding that even if Trump seems hesitant, the unpredictable nature of political and military dynamics could result in conflict being thrust upon them, thus maintaining their heightened state of preparedness.
