By Sammy,

Amid mounting threats from Tehran that any US action could trigger retaliation against Israel and American bases, and as President Donald Trump weighs possible involvement, the IDF says it is staying focused on defense while closely tracking developments.

IDF spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin writes on X that the army is carrying out ongoing situational assessments and preparing for unexpected scenarios, but will issue public updates only if circumstances change.

He also urges Israelis not to amplify speculation about events in Iran, emphasizing that the wave of anti-government protests there is an internal Iranian matter and warning the public not to "lend a hand to rumors."
