U.S. Special Envoy Does Not Rule Out Potential Military Strike Against Iran

U.S. Special Envoy Tom Barrack has not ruled out a potential American military strike against Iran as early as this weekend. When asked if such an attack might occur, Barrack responded affirmatively with "absolutely," while emphasizing that President Donald Trump still leaves open the possibility of a diplomatic agreement.

U.S. Diplomacy and Regional Warnings

"The President has been very clear. He is open to a deal, available and accessible," Barrack stated, noting that Washington has been engaged in diplomatic talks for months. He added that the imminent nuclear threat from Iran has largely been neutralized, though concerns regarding nuclear proliferation and future steps remain on the table.

Meanwhile, Kurdish-Iraqi outlet Channel8 reported that the U.S. administration updated Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Falah al-Zaidi regarding a planned strike against Iran. According to reports, Washington warned that any intervention by Iraqi armed groups would face severe government countermeasures and major regional instability.

Israeli Security Assessment

At the same time, Israeli military and political sources indicate that the defense establishment currently sees no operational necessity to initiate preemptive strikes against Iran, Lebanon, Syria, or Gaza.

"The question occupying us is whether the enemy will decide to attack or not. We know they are currently weighing this option. The statements of the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister are intended to deter them," senior Israeli officials stated.

Intelligence assessments suggest that Iran and its proxies are considering actions ahead of upcoming elections to disrupt public security in Israel, though security forces remain on high alert and fully prepared to respond to any aggression.
