Israeli Officials Plan Energy Strikes on Iran, Seek U.S. Approval

A high-ranking Israeli defense official disclosed Saturday that the country is making preparations to launch strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure while seeking approval from the United States before moving forward.

The official indicated that any military operations would likely take place within the coming week, according to reports from Jerusalem.

These developments follow President Donald Trump’s issuance of a 48-hour deadline, which has intensified speculation about whether Washington will support additional Israeli military operations targeting Iran.
