Israeli chief says Iran strikes prepared larger option

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.

Why this matters. 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.
