Meir Javadenfar, an analyst on Israel affairs, said that despite the Mossad's warnings about the Islamic Republic's possible plan to attack, Donald Trump still insists on continuing the naval blockade and economic pressure against Tehran. According to him, in the current situation, Trump considers the economic blockade less expensive and more effective than starting a new war.
Javadanfer added that unlike Benjamin Netanyahu, who wants to resume military activity, the IDF Chief of Staff does not see the need for another attack in the current situation. He also said that it is unlikely that Netanyahu will go to war without Trump's approval, because such an action could endanger the relations between the countries and the security of the American forces.
