Israel has raised its security alert level amid growing concerns over a possible military or political intervention by the United States in Iran, as the country witnesses widespread anti-government protests. According to three Israeli sources familiar with the developments, Israeli security agencies are closely monitoring the situation and preparing for any potential escalation.
In recent days, US President Donald Trump has issued strong warnings to Iran’s leadership, cautioning against the use of force on protesters. On Saturday, January 10, 2026, President Trump stated that the United States stands “ready to help,” a remark that has further intensified tensions across the region.
Sources indicate that Israeli security discussions have focused heavily on the likelihood of US involvement in Iran. However, officials have not clarified what Israel’s high-alert status entails in practical terms. It is worth noting that Israel and Iran were engaged in a 12-day armed conflict in June, which has already contributed to regional instability.
Netanyahu-Rubio Phone Call
On Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a phone conversation with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. An Israeli source said the talks included a discussion on the prospects of American intervention in Iran. A US official confirmed that the call took place but declined to disclose details of the agenda.
The ongoing protests in Iran are considered among the largest seen in recent years. Any direct US action could have wide-reaching consequences for security across the Middle East, prompting Israel to remain on high alert and ready for all possible scenarios.
