This comes after Israel Air Force fighter jets struck over 200 Iranian regime targets in western and central Iran over the past day, the IDF announced on Wednesday.

Issues in the Strait of Hormuz "could extend the war by as much as two months,” one source familiar with the discussions said.

Basij commander Gholamreza Soleimani and deputy also killed in IDF strikes, officials say 'majority of the Basij leadership was eliminated overnight' • Netanyahu: Larijani was 'boss' of regime

According to Leiter, Israel has extended its help to all the Gulf countries interested in receiving it after more than 2,000 missiles and drones were launched against them by Iran.

The IDF hit external targets tied to Palestinian-linked activity and killed senior figures involved in terror activity from Gaza and the West Bank hiding in Tehran during overnight operations.

Israel has what we need [against Russia], and we have what Israel needs [against Iran], Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky told The Jerusalem Post on Monday.

The attack ended without Russian casualties, with Russian officials stating that repeated strikes near Russian experts are unacceptable, warning that Israel must take precautionary measures.

Sources from Gulf states who spoke to the Post said that one reason those countries have not launched an attack is their concern about the “day after.”

An Israeli official told the Post that “it is more likely that lasting regime change will occur in the period after the war, during a time of relative calm.

Several prominent political figures were said by state media to be marching in Tehran at the time, including Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and FM Abbas Araghchi.
