Israeli security officials are reportedly considering whether the goals of the war against Iran should be reevaluated, according to a report broadcast Sunday evening by Kan News.

The report said security sources indicated that although Israel’s initial strike and the early phase of the conflict surpassed expectations, the overall campaign has not been progressing as quickly as originally planned. One major obstacle, the officials noted, has been the challenge of encouraging large-scale public protests inside Iran.

The sources added that both Israel and the United States are preparing additional significant actions within Iran that could influence the direction and pace of the war.

On Sunday, the IDF Intelligence Directorate released an overview of the first two weeks of the joint campaign with the United States, stating that many additional targets remain inside Iran before the military operation can be considered complete. No timeline was given for when the conflict might end, and the future plans discussed by Israeli officials appear to differ from comments by President Donald Trump suggesting the war could conclude “soon.”

During the opening stage of the conflict, a key priority for the Israeli Air Force was gaining control of the airspace over Iran. According to the IDF, roughly 100 air defense systems along with about 120 radar and detection systems have been destroyed during the fighting.

Over the first two weeks of the war, Iran launched approximately 360 missiles toward Israel. Military officials said the size of each missile barrage has declined significantly since the beginning of the conflict. Intelligence assessments indicate that about 70% of Iran’s missile launchers have been disabled by Israeli strikes, and that Iran currently has no ability to produce additional missiles.

The IDF has also targeted a wide range of regime-linked facilities. So far, about 2,200 sites connected to the Iranian government have been struck, including installations tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, government ministries, senior leadership networks, internal security organizations, and the Basij militia. Many of these operations have concentrated on Tehran, with intelligence units selecting targets based in part on which individuals were present inside the facilities.
