According to Israel's Channel 13 television, senior Israeli security officials, whose names were not shared, stated that the possibility of an attack on Iran before the elections to be held on October 27 in the country is small.

Israeli officials claimed that there have been intense talks between Trump and Netanyahu regarding the attack on Iran in recent weeks and said, "No final decision has been taken yet." He claimed that Netanyahu did not want an attack on Iran before the elections.

Based on an Israeli official, it was stated that the Israeli army was on high alert and claimed that there was a "good and clear" dialogue between the US and Israeli armies.

The news noted that the Israeli army made an assessment that the United States would sooner or later restart attacks on Iran.

In another report reflected in the Israeli press, it was claimed that the USA was avoiding reigniting the war and therefore requested Israel to launch an independent attack against Iran.

Iran's response to Trump's attack scenario on Los Angeles and San Diego as "imaginary enemy fabrication"

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ismail Bekayi responded to Trump's statements on the social media platform of US-based company X.

İsmail Bekayi wrote in his post: "The USA's rhetoric about the attack on Los Angeles and San Diego is a fabrication of an imaginary enemy." he stated.

Stating that the USA invented an imaginary enemy in the sky to scare its own people and thus aims to overshadow the real threat on the ground, Bekayi said, "The real danger is neither beyond its borders nor above Los Angeles and San Diego. The danger is in the administration that imposes an illegal war on the world." made his assessment.

Pointing to a scenario in which Iran could attack one of the cities in the USA, Trump said, "Let them destroy Los Angeles. Let them destroy San Diego. This is a very small price to pay." he said.

Gavin Newsom, the governor of the state of California, where these two cities are located, reacted to Trump's words in his post on the social media platform of US-based company X.
