Israel Prepares for Potential Renewal of Fighting with US Amid Iran Tensions
Israel is actively preparing for the possibility that the United States may resume military hostilities against Iran, following President Donald Trump's upcoming discussions in Washington. While Trump considers options ranging from renewed negotiations to limited surgical strikes or 'Project Freedom' operations in the Strait of Hormuz, Israeli military and intelligence divisions are updating a joint 'target bank' with US Central Command. Israel aims to neutralize Iran's nuclear capabilities and missile arrays, viewing them as existential threats. However, the US remains cautious about involving Israel directly, fearing that Israeli participation could trigger widespread Iranian missile retaliation and prolonged regional conflict. Additionally, any renewal of fighting against Iran would significantly impact the situation in Lebanon. Israel intends to seek American approval to renew attacks on Hezbollah targets in Beirut, citing increased drone threats, though Washington has previously restrained such actions to avoid further escalation. Despite these preparations, diplomatic channels remain open, with Trump reportedly willing to exhaust negotiation opportunities before committing to military action.
