Khaberni - Three informed Israeli sources stated that Israel has raised its highest alert level in anticipation of any American intervention in Iran as the authorities there face the largest anti-government protests in years.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened intervention in recent days and warned Iranian rulers against using force against protesters. Trump said on Saturday that the United States is "ready to help".
The sources, who were present during the Israeli security consultations over the weekend, did not specify what exactly raising the highest alert means in practice.
Israel and Iran fought a war that lasted 12 days in June.
In a phone call on Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussed the possibility of U.S. intervention in Iran, according to an informed Israeli source. An American official confirmed that Rubio and Netanyahu talked, but he did not disclose the topics they discussed.
