Israel considered launching an attack against Iran on Monday night, but ultimately decided to postpone the move. Senior American officials said that after the War Cabinet meeting on Monday, Israel informed the US that there would be no attack that night.
Senior Israeli officials: There will be an attack on Iran, but the exact method of action and the timing have not yet been determined. Senior Israeli officials in the Biden administration have stressed to senior Israeli officials in recent days that escalation with Iran will not serve the interests of the US and Israel, and said that if Israel finally decides to take any action against Iran, they believe it should be as limited as possible. The Biden administration hopes that it will be more limited than the Iranian attack last Saturday and will make it possible to end the exchange of blows between the parties. The decision was made for "operational reasons," two senior Israeli officials said.
