The Israeli Defence Force is preparing contingency plans for two potential escalation scenarios involving Iran, according to Jerusalem Post reporting on assessments by Israeli defence officials.

The preparations come as the United States pursues diplomatic channels to resolve regional tensions. Israeli defence officials assess that US President Donald Trump would prefer to avoid military confrontation and pursue diplomatic resolution of tensions with Iran.

The specific scenarios and details of the IDF preparations remain undisclosed, but the move reflects ongoing concerns about potential Iranian military actions in the region despite international diplomatic efforts.
