The Israel Defense Forces has held a series of high-level situational assessments over recent days led by Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, following the escalating unrest in Iran.

The move comes as the regime in Tehran faces a renewed and volatile wave of internal protests, clashes and murderous repression by the Islamic Republic against its citizens. 

According to a military official, the IDF is monitoring developments in Iran, but stressed that “the protests are an internal Iranian matter.”
