The Israeli government is awaiting the decision of US President Donald Trump. It is said that there are increasing indications that Trump has concluded that Tehran is not ready to accept his terms for ending the war.
Yedioth Ahronoth said that the United States and Israel are intensively preparing for a possible resumption of hostilities. The New York Times reported on Friday that the Pentagon is preparing for a continuation of the war because Washington’s original goals have not been achieved, especially regarding Tehran’s nuclear program.
According to the Times, which refers to two officials from the Middle East, the US and Israel are intensively preparing for a possible continuation of the attack on Iran as early as next week. Israel’s N12 television reported, citing an Israeli government official, that Trump may gather advisers soon after his return from China to make a decision on the continuation of hostilities.
N12 reports that the Israeli government believes a decision on a military campaign that would last “from a few days to a few weeks” could be made “very quickly.” According to Yedioth Ahronoth, Trump is not believed to be planning a full-scale war to topple the Iranian government. Instead, it is reportedly considering limited attacks on power plants and bridges.
According to the report, ground operations are also possible in order to seize the key oil export terminals on the island of Hark in the Persian Gulf or take over the estimated 440 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent that Iran owns, reports Hina.
