Israeli security officials detect no imminent Iranian attack preparations, but Israel is weighing a strike without American military support, Ynetnews reports ahead of tonight's security cabinet meeting.
Ynet says Netanyahu is expected to convene the security cabinet on Sunday evening. It will be the cabinet's first meeting since Israel entered a caretaker-government period after the October elections.
According to Ynet, the officials see no imminent preparations despite the IAEA's warning over the uninspected Iranian facility. It reports that the IDF is updating targets and the US is reinforcing regional defences.
Ynet also reports that regime change would be hard to achieve by an air campaign alone. Any resumption of fighting, it says, would need clearer political objectives and assurances of sufficient military resources.
The assessment of no imminent attack preparations is consistent with Channel 13's account that the IDF saw no immediate urgency for Israel to strike. It also matches Channel 12's report of IDF Chief of Staff Lt Gen Eyal Zamir's view. Ynet does not name its sources, and its report has not been independently checked.
