Israel Prepares for Further Strikes on Iran, Awaits Trump’s "Green Light"

However, authorities are currently awaiting formal authorization or a "green light" from their primary ally, the United States, before commencing the operation. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued this new and stern warning targeting Tehran, according to a report by the Middle East Monitor.

In a formal statement, the Israeli Defense Minister detailed that the primary objective of the potential military strike is to severely dismantle Iran's military and strategic capabilities. Analysts suggest that the military consequences of this planned offensive would be extensive, with impacts likely reverberating across the entire region. Katz claimed that Israeli forces are currently on high alert and are fully prepared to handle any defensive or offensive scenarios that may arise.

The stern message is being viewed by observers as a strategy to increase political and psychological pressure on Tehran by placing direct responsibility on the Iranian leadership. Experts believe this maneuver is an attempt to deter Iran at a time of extreme tension in sensitive areas, including the Strait of Hormuz and Israel's northern front. Given the close military and diplomatic coordination with Washington, many suggest that the timing of the strike now depends solely on a final signal from the U.S. administration.
