Israel is on high alert over the possibility of US intervention in Iran, where widespread protests against the regime continue. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to intervene and warned Iran against using violence against protesters, stating that the US is "ready to help". According to Israeli sources, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the possibility with US Secretary of State Mark Rubio in a phone call. The discussion focused on the potential implications and strategies for dealing with such a development. While the US side confirmed the conversation, it did not disclose details about the topics discussed. This silent stance reinforces Israel's concerns about the possibility of escalating tensions in the region. The situation in Iran remains unstable, with protests continuing despite attempts at suppression by the authorities. The possibility of US intervention adds an additional layer of complexity and uncertainty to the already tense situation.
