Event details
L'Orient Today reported that Israeli army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir told soldiers during a northern Israel training exercise that Monday's strikes on Iran were preparation for a much larger possible strike and that forces were ready to return. This is treated as a posture signal, not a report that a new strike had begun.
Context
Zamir's remarks keep Israel's larger Iran option alive after the immediate exchange cooled. This matters because readiness language can prepare domestic and allied audiences before a renewed strike window.
