According to a CBS report citing several official American sources, the United States and Israel have held discussions on the timing of a potential strike on Iran, with particular attention to ensuring that any operation does not extend beyond the opening of financial markets on Monday. President Donald Trump has not yet given final approval for the operation.
The report follows an earlier Saturday evening report by The Zioneer that Israeli sources described Trump as nearing a decision on a significant military strike against Iran, calling the current window 'dramatic hours.' The discussions on timing come amid ongoing US military preparations, including the deployment of additional fighter jets to the region and the preparation of attack options, as previously reported.
The reported coordination between Washington and Jerusalem reflects the advanced stage of contingency planning, though the final decision rests with President Trump. The specific timing and scope of any potential operation remain unconfirmed, and the situation continues to develop.
