Israeli Minister Avigdor Lieberman revealed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened a limited cabinet meeting to discuss Iran last week, as reported by Michael Shemesh. Lieberman stated he appreciated the discussion but declined to share details, only advising listeners to stay close to protected spaces. The comments from Lieberman, made to Arie Golan, suggest a high-level Israeli government focus on Iran. The specific timing of the meeting last week indicates ongoing strategic discussions within the Israeli leadership regarding Iran. The remark about protected spaces implies a potential security concern or threat assessment related to the discussions. This development follows Iran's summoning of EU ambassadors early on October 8th, 2025, to protest what it called "baseless claims" in a joint EU-GCC statement regarding its islands, defense, and nuclear program. Deputy Foreign Minister Ravanchi conveyed Iran's objections during the summons.
