In closed-door discussions, Israeli and Arab officials have urged the US administration to delay large-scale military strikes against Iran. They believe that at the current stage, the Iranian authorities have not been weakened enough for a decisive blow, and such a step might not yield the expected results.
Citing NBC News, the editorial board reports that sources have warned that such military operations could have the opposite effect under the current circumstances. It has been stated that premature strikes could unite Iranian society around the government instead of supporting protesters.
According to the information, some officials believe that foreign military intervention could reduce the impact of internal protests and strengthen the positions of the current government. Therefore, it is emphasized that the formation of a more favorable political and social environment is important.
It is noted that the issue is also being discussed within the administration of US President Donald Trump, and the positions of various regional partners are being taken into account. No official decision has been announced yet, and the process remains in the stage of diplomatic consultations.
