Tel Aviv, Nov 25 (UNI) The Israeli government believes that there is a possibility that US President Donald Trump may order an attack on Iran in his final weeks in office and has instructed its military in recent weeks to prepare for any such eventuality, Axios news website reported on Wednesday, citing senior Israeli officials.
The report said that the Israeli government has instructed the Israeli Defense Forces to begin preparations for what they anticipate will be a "very sensitive period ahead of projected President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration. However, the report further said that these orders were not based on any intelligence assessment that Trump will order such an attack.
