Officials say the U.S. is close to approving military strikes against Iran, Israel remains highly vigilant.
On August 1 local time, an Israeli official revealed that Israel assesses that President Trump is currently closer than ever to approving a significant military strike against Iran, but the related plans have not yet been finalized.
According to the details of the contingency plan disclosed by the official, the U.S. is considering precise and limited strikes on specific energy facilities in Iran. The assessment indicates that the U.S. currently prefers not to involve Israel in the initial phase of the first strike. However, Israel believes that if the U.S. launches a significant attack on Iran, it is likely to directly provoke military retaliation from Iran against Israel, and Israel may then be forced to become involved in the conflict and join the battle. Currently, Israel's defense agencies are therefore maintaining a high level of vigilance. (Reporter Zhao Bing from the General Station)
