Israel has put its own troops on high alert amid possible US military intervention in the situation in Iran. As reported by Reuters, citing Israeli sources, the impetus was the most massive anti-government protests in Iran in recent years, which were accompanied by a brutal crackdown by Tehran. It informs UNN.
Details On Saturday, January 10, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussed options for possible intervention. Although official Washington calls the conversation “normal”, President Donald Trump has previously said that the US is “ready to assist” the Iranian people and warned the Iranian government against using force against the protesters.
According to human rights organizations, the number of victims in the protests has already exceeded 100 people. The situation becomes more difficult due to the complete shutdown of the Internet in Iran, which prevents objective observation of events.
Regional context Tensions between the states increased after the 12-day war in June 2025, during which the US carried out airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Israel is now refraining from direct intervention, but is expressing support for the protesters.
Analysts indicate that the success of the recent US operation in Venezuela has reduced the decision-making criteria of the Trump administration regarding regime change in unfriendly states.
