Israel orders military to prepare on three fronts for war with Iran


Published: 05:58 5 January 2026
Tel Aviv has ordered the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to be on full military alert in anticipation of a possible war with Iran. At the same time, a plan for a 'concurrent' war is being taken with Lebanon and the West Bank of Palestine in mind. This information has been revealed in a report by Israel's influential broadcaster Channel 12.
The report said that IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Ya'al Zamir has adopted a four-year strategic plan for the army. As part of that plan, preparations for a possible major war have begun. In addition to conventional land, naval and air strikes, these preparations also include sophisticated military tactics such as hitting satellites and attacking surface targets from space.
Channel 12 said that among the three possible war fronts, Israel is giving Iran the highest priority. Israeli intelligence and security officials fear that the ongoing severe economic crisis in Iran—which includes rampant inflation, unemployment, and rising living costs—has created intense anger among the general public. It is believed that Iran may take military action against Israel to divert public attention from this internal crisis.
The Israeli government has refrained from officially commenting publicly on the ongoing protests in Iran, considering the potential military tension. However, a different picture is visible on social media. There, the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad has openly supported the ongoing protests in Iran. Mossad even claimed that they played a role in organizing the protests inside Iran.
The Islamic government of Iran has been under great pressure to suppress the protests that began last December. Several people have been killed and injured in clashes with security forces while trying to suppress the protests. Many protesters have directly demanded the fall of the Islamic government and the restoration of the monarchy. It is worth noting that the monarchy in Iran ended with the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and an Islamist government came to power.
Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump has added a new dimension to the tension surrounding Iran. In a recent post on the social media platform X, he warned that the US could launch a military operation in Iran if the Iranian government severely represses peaceful protests. Trump claims that the necessary preparations for such an operation have already been completed.
Overall, the fear of a new major military conflict in the Middle East is intensifying. The situation is becoming increasingly complex and worrying, with Iran's internal instability, Israel's simultaneous preparations for war on three fronts, and the US's threats.
