A critical moment is brewing in international relations. According to sources, the US and Israel are planning one of the largest operations to bomb Iran's energy infrastructure. Strikes could be launched as early as this upcoming weekend.
Strike plan discussed in Washington
Information about the preparation of the attack emerged following a US Cabinet meeting held on Friday. According to sources, the target of the planned strikes will be Iran's energy sector, including power plants and oil refineries. Such a scenario could seriously impair the ability of the Iranian military to effectively manage the country and provide services to the population.
Coordination and contradictions
As sources report, Israel has been informed of the plans and is coordinating its actions with the US. However, final authorization for the strikes has not yet been received from President Donald Trump. High-level talks involving US representatives regarding a power outage in Tehran took place on Friday, but as of Friday afternoon, no decision had been made.
A joint operation would mark Israel's return to hostilities, which the country suspended during a ceasefire brokered by the US. Meanwhile, the US resumed attacks on Iran in early July, but during this time, Tehran has not struck Israel.
Official denials and new data
At the same time, a current Israeli official told a TV channel that Israel knows nothing about the preparation of strikes on Iran. "Israel is unaware of any decision to resume full-scale military operations, and Israel has not been asked to join any military operations against Iran," he said.
However, information from The Wall Street Journal indicates that Trump has already ordered a new attack on Iran to force Tehran to capitulate. Sources for this publication say the attack could begin this weekend and last several days.
Additional pressure scenarios
Less than a day ago, The Telegraph reported that US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are considering the possibility of increasing economic pressure on Iran. Sources for the publication reported on several scenarios regarding a land blockade.
It was also previously reported that Trump allowed for the possibility of destroying Iran's Mount Pikaks, where a nuclear facility is located. This adds tension to the situation and underscores the seriousness of Washington and Jerusalem's intentions.
