Desk Correspondent , Jerusalem - Israel has placed its military and intelligence services on "high alert" following a series of provocative statements from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the escalating revolution in Iran. The shift in posture comes after Trump issued a "freedom remark," publicly asserting that the United States would "not sit idly by while a brave people are slaughtered" and hinting at a potential military intervention to "guarantee the birth of a free Iran." The rhetoric has sent ripples through Middle Eastern capitals, with Jerusalem now preparing for the possibility of a direct U.S. kinetic strike against Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) positions.

According to senior defense sources in Tel Aviv, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have intensified aerial surveillance and bolstered missile defense batteries across the northern border. While Israel has long advocated for "maximum pressure" on Tehran, there is growing concern that a U.S.-led intervention could trigger a desperate retaliatory strike from Iran or its proxies, such as Hezbollah, against Israeli targets. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet reportedly held an emergency security session to coordinate responses with Washington, ensuring that any U.S. move is met with a synchronized regional defense strategy.

The "freedom remark" from the White House marks a significant departure from previous years of cautious diplomacy, signaling that the Trump administration may view the current internal chaos in Iran as a "once-in-a-generation" opportunity to dismantle the clerical regime. As Tehran remains under a total internet blackout and the death toll in the streets continues to rise, the specter of U.S. Tomahawk missiles or stealth drone strikes looms large. For Israel, the goal is two-fold: supporting the weakening of its arch-enemy while preventing a localized uprising from spiraling into a full-scale regional conflagration.
