News reports said Israel is preparing for the possibility of renewed war with Iran and is studying response options harsher than the one described as "Lion's Roar". The reports, citing Hebrew Channel 16, said Israel is preparing for a scenario in which Iran might initiate an attack if it detects concrete preparations by Israel or the United States, while noting there is currently no confirmed information about an Iranian intention to do so.
One report focused on Israel's preparations for renewed war and its study of a harsher response without naming a source, while the other two relied on Hebrew Channel 16 and centered on a scenario of Iran initiating an attack, the unconfirmed information, and intensified Israeli-American preparations, differing in describing the potential Iranian move as an "attack" versus a "preemptive strike".
