Khaberni - Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen said that Tel Aviv must be prepared for all scenarios in Iran.
And Cohen said: "We need to be prepared for every scenario in Iran without intervening, and the Iranian people must take their destiny into their own hands."
"Reuters" quoted from informed Israeli sources that Israel is on high alert in anticipation of any possible American intervention in Iran. The sources, who attended Israeli security consultations over the weekend, did not disclose what the high alert state announced by Israel practically means.
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened intervention in recent days and cautioned Iranian leaders against using force against protesters. Trump said on Saturday that the United States is "ready to help."
Iran, today Sunday, warned Trump that any US attack on its territory would be met with a response targeting Israel and US military bases in the region.
Protests began in Iran in late December 2025 due to the depreciation of the local currency, the Iranian Rial. The protests mainly focused on the sharp fluctuations in the exchange rate and their impact on wholesale and retail prices. Videos of protesters in Tehran and other cities spread across social media. Against this backdrop, the head of Iran's central bank, Mohammad Farzin, resigned, and Abdul Nasser Hemmati took over the position.
In several Iranian cities, the protests turned into clashes with the police, accompanied by chants against the current political system. Reports mentioned injuries among both security forces and protesters alike.
