[62066] Escalation with Tehran: U.S. and Israel Prepare for Renewed Strikes in Iran

Peak Tension: Approaching the Resumption of Fighting in Iran

Extensive reports in foreign media, led by the "New York Times," indicate that the U.S. and Israel are completing intensive preparations for the resumption of strikes against Iran, a move that could take place as early as next week. According to Asaf Rozenzweig, World News, this is the most significant military preparation since the ceasefire went into effect. Field News on Telegram and Barak Betesh emphasize that the move includes joint preparations by the Pentagon and the Israeli defense establishment.

Operational Options and Trump's Response

The American plans may include aggressive strikes against military and nuclear infrastructure, and even the possibility of using special forces, including the 82nd Airborne Division, with the aim of seizing nuclear materials and capturing Kharg Island. President Donald Trump, known for a hardline stance against Tehran, was quoted in Abu Ali Express and Israel News Without Censorship as being convinced that "Iran will surrender soon." In response to questions about the duration of the war, Trump compared the situation to historical conflicts and claimed that it is a "small pain" in the context of the economic impact.

Additional Arenas: Cuba and Lebanon

In parallel with the tensions with Iran, Asaf Rozenzweig reports that the Trump administration is considering filing an indictment against Raul Castro of Cuba, as part of political pressure aimed at pushing Russian and Chinese influence off the island. Meanwhile, Israel News Without Censorship reported on a series of strikes in Lebanon in areas such as Ansar and Kawthariyet al-Sayyad, which indicates extensive military activity in the northern arena as well.

Note: Some of the cited sources, such as Israeli Telegram channels, present a consistent line supporting the Trump administration's policy and IDF operations, while the reports are based on "New York Times" publications.
