Before the attack on Iran - Israel carried out a deception operation for days that included media and political components, and thus managed to surprise Iran.
The plan had only a few secret partners who managed to keep the secret. In recent days, the Prime Minister's Office has distributed various announcements and briefings aimed at influencing the internal discourse in Israel and Iran.
Unlike usual, false quotes from Netanyahu and Trump's conversations were not denied by the Prime Minister's Office on purpose, in order to project a public debate between Israel and the United States (although there was none).
The goal was to make the Israeli public and the Iranian leadership think that there would be no attack in the immediate term, out of fear that any information could destroy the surprise effect and destroy the plan.
