Iran Strike Fears: Israel Orders Full Emergency Preparedness Amid Escalating Tensions

Tel Aviv — As fears of a potential US military strike against Iran continue to mount, Israel has placed its defense and emergency agencies on full alert, ordering all institutions to be prepared for every possible scenario.
Israeli government sources confirmed that defense forces, civil defense units, and emergency services have been directed to maintain complete operational readiness. Security measures around key installations have been significantly heightened at both military and civilian levels as a precautionary response to the rapidly evolving situation.
The move comes in the wake of US media reports claiming that Washington has substantially reinforced its air and naval assets across the Middle East, with a possible strike on Iran anticipated as early as this weekend. Israel fears that any American military action could trigger retaliatory strikes by Iran targeting Israeli territory, given Tehran’s longstanding threats to hold Israel accountable in the event of any regional conflict.
Iran has repeatedly warned that aggression from any quarter would be met with a decisive and overwhelming response, with Israel specifically named as a primary target. Israel has previously weathered Iranian drone and missile attacks, and its Iron Dome and multi-layered missile defense systems are currently reported to be on high alert.
World powers are closely monitoring the situation as diplomatic channels remain under intense pressure. The United Nations and several European governments have urged all parties to exercise maximum restraint and avoid any action that could spiral into a broader regional or global conflict.
