Israel considers large-scale attack on Iranian energy facilities as Trump’s deadline on Strait of Hormuz nears
Israel is considering launching a large-scale attack on Iranian energy facilities as US President Donald Trump’s deadline approaches, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation reported on Sunday, adding that the security and political institutions support moving towards attacking Iranian energy facilities.
At dawn on Sunday, Trump threatened to strike Iran’s energy facilities, starting with the largest one, if Tehran didn’t open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.
In later statements to Israel’s Channel 13, he stressed that the warning he issued regarding Iran’s energy facilities will have very good results in the context of the war against Iran.
Israel’s Channel 12 quoted US officials as saying, “We want a strategic change with regard to the Strait of Hormuz, even if the operation lasts longer”.
“Israel has been briefed on parts of the US plans for the Strait of Hormuz, and is involved in some aspects of it, including providing intelligence and advice on operations in the region”.
Israeli officials are saying, “We prefer the war to continue, but we will do what Trump decides, and we will know when his deadline expires”.
