Israel is preparing for the possibility of the United States resuming its attack on Iran in the coming days, Israel's N12 television reported on the 23rd (local time), citing Israeli officials.
According to the report, Israeli security authorities are closely coordinating with the U.S. regarding the possibility of U.S. President Donald Trump launching military action soon.
Israeli officials explained that they anticipate a situation where military options are exercised due to the failure of the U.S. and Iran to reach a ceasefire agreement, and consequently, the Israeli military is preparing for an attack within days.
There is concern among Israeli officials that the recently discussed ceasefire proposal does not include issues such as Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missile development, and support for proxy forces, and would represent a significant concession to Iran.
The draft agreement between the U.S. and Iran, which the Saudi Arabian media Al Arabiya reported on the previous day as having obtained exclusively, only included provisions such as a ceasefire, guarantees of freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, and the lifting of sanctions against Iran.
N12 pointed out, "Israeli officials emphasize that there is an agreement with the United States on the point that Iran should not possess uranium enrichment capabilities," and added, "An agreement that does not include these provisions is clearly unrealistic."
In relation to this, N12 quoted a source as saying, "President Trump is increasingly frustrated with the way negotiations with Iran are proceeding."
The source further elaborated that President Trump is feeling frustrated by the stalemate in negotiations, and this perception could lead to "decisive action" for a declaration of victory and the end of the conflict.
The previous day, President Trump had stated that he would not attend his eldest son Trump Jr.'s wedding ceremony this weekend, saying, "I feel it is important to remain in the White House during this crucial time."
The British newspaper Financial Times (FT) reported, based on an analysis of satellite imagery of Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, that at least 50 U.S. military refueling aircraft were deployed this month, and this number continued to increase even after the U.S. and Iran entered into a ceasefire.
