SAEDNEWS: Dr. Ebrahim Motaghi of IRIB claimed Israel would “attack Iran again in one week,” yet no independent confirmation has emerged from major international or intelligence sources.

State TV analyst predicts Israeli strike “within a week”

According to Saed News, quoting IRIB international affairs expert Dr. Ebrahim Motaghi, “Israel will launch a new military strike against Iran within one week” after using the recent ceasefire period to “regroup” for both surprise actions and subsequent destructive operations.

However, a survey of reputable international reporting yields no corroboration for an imminent, scheduled attack. While a Wall Street Journal report—cited by Reuters—indicated that Israel was prepared “to strike Iran in the coming days” if diplomatic talks failed, it did not set a seven‑day deadline. Likewise, Reuters dispatches confirm heightened Israeli readiness and warnings from Israeli leaders about exacting “a price” on Tehran, but they offer no concrete timetable .

Analysts caution that state‑media pundits in Tehran often employ dramatic forecasts to bolster domestic morale or signal deterrence messages. Despite regional tensions and occasional intelligence leaks about potential military options in Jerusalem and Washington, neither the Israeli government nor the U.S. administration has publicly endorsed a specific “one‑week” timeframe. In the absence of confirmation from independent monitoring organisations or official statements from Israel’s defence establishment, Motaghi’s prediction remains unverified—perhaps more a reflection of political theatre than an actionable intelligence assessment.
