Israel is considering a broad attack on Iranian energy facilities as the deadline set by President Trump approaches, with Israeli security and political institutions in support of military action.
Israeli public broadcaster reported that Israel is gearing up to launch a significant attack on Iranian energy infrastructure in light of President Trump's ultimatum regarding the Strait of Hormuz. As the 48-hour deadline approaches, both Israeli security and political establishments are reportedly in favor of carrying out military operations to target Iranian energy assets.
In the early hours of Sunday, Trump warned that the U.S. would strike at Iran's energy facilities, particularly its largest ones, if Tehran does not allow free navigation through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. In subsequent statements to Israeli Channel 13, he indicated optimism regarding the potential military actions, suggesting they would yield favorable outcomes in the ongoing U.S.-Israel campaign against Iran.
Furthermore, U.S. officials communicated to Israeli media that they are seeking strategic changes concerning the Strait of Hormuz, even if the military operations extend over a longer period. Israel has reportedly been briefed on aspects of U.S. plans related to the Strait and is collaborating on certain elements, including providing intelligence and operational advice in the region, indicating the depth of military and strategic cooperation between the U.S. and Israel in confronting Iranian threats.
