Shehab Wire reported that Iranian political analyst Mahdi Azizi dismissed the likelihood of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordering a military escalation against Iran to postpone Knesset elections scheduled for approximately ten days away, amid declining support for his party.
Azizi's assessment suggests Netanyahu faces political constraints that would make a major military gambit risky despite potential strategic benefits of delaying the vote. The analyst cited slipping public backing for Netanyahu's coalition as a limiting factor on his willingness to pursue aggressive military action.
