The Iranian leadership decided to postpone an attack on Israel after Donald Trump won the United States presidential elections last week, Israeli officials familiar with the matter told Israel Hayom on November 14.
According to the news outlet, Iran shelved its plans in the hope of kick-starting negotiations with the Trump administration, which will take charge on January 20.
The officials also told the outlet that the incoming administration is drafting plans to bring down the Islamic revolutionary government, which has ruled Iran for more than four decades. Tehran’s decision to refrain from attacking Israel at this time was reportedly made to head off this scenario.
The Israeli report came a day after Iranian sources told Sky News Arabia that Trump’s impending return to the White House led the Tehran regime to delay the attack.
Iran and its allies in the so-called Axis of Resistance have been reportedly preparing to respond to the October 26 Israeli strikes. Several Iranian military targets, including air defenses and missile sites, were hit during the strikes, which also claimed the lives of four officers.
The strikes were in themselves a response to a large-scale ballistic missile attack launched by Tehran that targeted Israel on October 1.
Israel Hayom’s report came a day after Iranian sources told Sky News that Trump’s impending return to the White House caused Tehran to delay the attack.
Speaking to reporters on November 13, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that communication channels with Washington “still exist.”
“We have differences with the Americans, which are sometimes very fundamental and central and may not be resolved, but we must manage them to reduce their costs and decrease the tensions,” Araghchi said.
While Iran appears to be open to work with the U.S. to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East, any such efforts with the current or next American administrations will not likely work if Israel refuses to end its wars on the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.

it doesn’t mean anything as iran attacks israel through its proxies in syria, iraq, lebanon and yemen. these are connected vessels, and at some point there will be a strategic decision by israel that they will no longer deal with iranian proxies but will deal with the core of the problems. if iran is serious, why not to negotiate a ceasefire in lebanon and dissolve hezbollah. (fantasy as all we know it will never happen)
the israeli leadership is composed of a very corrupt pm and religious fanatics. good luck trying to trust anything from them.
i have no problem with this statement. israel is indeed a treacherous country, but iran is not in a position to dictate terms. if they have an instinct for self-preservation, they should limit their hostility to israel, because otherwise they will be massacred like hamas in gaza. trump is not very keen to start a war because it is very unpopular in america, but if the attacks on israel continue, he will do it.
always your childish illusions of unlimited powahhhh. israel can’t do squat to iran and the last impotent attack it conducted clearly demonstrated it. and the us would be very foolish to engage iran and i think that the us military explained to israel that if they want a war with iran, they are on their own.
iran’s the proxy for ….. wakey wakey .
because trumps already got issues with cia management. they wouldn’t want any
infestigations .i’d bet .imo .allegedly .
said sky news arabia and israel hayom who interviewed anonymous officials. we know the zionist weasel script. just follow cnn, wapo, jew york times and other propaganda channels. these people have 0% creativity. they are 100% predictable
the entity of murderers have choice a murderer. he should hang as soon as possible.
even more so, when he is declared immortal by cia. end the clown dynasty now, the witch burner dynasty. down with the undead vampire on the cross !
china on the brink of collapse due to low youth population and low fertility rate. 100 chinese people dead when a chinese man drove his vehicle in a crowd full of chinese people.
in 40 years, even with their current fertility rate, the working age population of china will still be four times that of the us.
