Israeli military presents plan to leadership for possible renewed operations against Iran

JERUSALEM — Israel's military has presented the political leadership with a plan for a possible resumption of operations against Iran, Israel's Channel 13 reported. The broadcaster said the defense establishment is preparing for a potential major escalation in the region. According to the report, Israel has identified two scenarios that could trigger a renewed strike on Iran: an Iranian attack on Israel, or a formal request from the United States. The United States has been expanding the scope of its campaign against Iran by deploying around 100 fuel tanker aircraft to the region, the report said. US President Donald Trump was briefed on several new military plans targeting Iran during a meeting at the White House operations center on Tuesday, according to the report. Officials told the broadcaster that Trump is weighing a broader operation around the Strait of Hormuz, going beyond the current strikes in the area. American and Israeli officials said the US president could order an escalation of operations in the coming days. No further details on the timeline or scope of any potential action were immediately available.
