War with Iran may be delayed, but the threat of renewed conflict remains

According to Ron Ben-Yishai in Ynet, despite a short-term de-escalation, the threat of conflict with Iran remains. Israeli officials are concerned that the Trump administration may reach a deal to end the crisis that would lead to the withdrawal of U.S. forces and limit Israel's operational capabilities. The report notes that Israel is heavily dependent on American 'enablers,' such as aerial refueling tankers, and would lack the capacity for large-scale operations against Iranian infrastructure without Washington's support. While reports suggest disagreements between Netanyahu and the IDF Chief of Staff regarding how to handle Iran, the Ynet analyst suggests that war may only be delayed until 2027, as the Iranian regime might initiate conflict to ensure its own survival.
