IDF on high alert for possibility of escalation with Iran amid Trump's escalating threats

The IDF remains on high alert for a potential escalation with Iran, maintaining "close" coordination with the US military, a senior security official told Walla on Monday. This comes as US President Donald Trump escalated threats against Tehran, stating, "this is their last opportunity to sign the agreement" and claiming that talks are ongoing. Trump asserted that the US has "complete control of the strait" of Hormuz, vowing, "I will not let them collect anything." Despite his strong rhetoric, CBS reported that Trump's aim is to apply pressure for negotiation advantage, an assessment gaining traction within Iranian leadership. Sources in Iran believe time favors them, increasing pressure on the US to reach a deal.
