Channel 12 report: Israeli officials assess that Iran does not currently intend to strike Israel, believing such an attack could return the war to full intensity and cause the controlled escalation to spiral out of control.

An Israeli source said: “We all hope to be proven wrong in the assessment and that Iran will make the mistake. The Americans know that we want to complete our missions in Iran.

We will get involved only if the Americans bring us into it, or if the Iranians do.”
