President Trump launched a fresh wave of strikes on Iran, according to Israeli media, prompting Tehran to warn of a 'fitting response.' Concurrently, a senior Israeli official says Washington delivered Israel an unequivocal message not to strike Iran at this stage — the US plans to conduct any strikes alone. The official tells Kan News that Israel received a 'clear red light' not to intervene.
A senior Israeli official told Kan News on Monday evening that the United States has given Israel a clear 'red light' not to strike Iran, insisting that Washington will carry out any military action against Tehran on its own. The message comes as a fresh round of U.S. strikes on Iran was reported by Israeli media, with Iran's leadership warning — according to the same reports — that its response 'will be fitting.'
As The Zioneer reported earlier this evening (20:20 Jerusalem), the same official briefed that Israel was told not to intervene at this stage, but the IDF remains on high alert in case Washington later gives a green light or Iran retaliates against Israel. The White House's messaging to Jerusalem signals a hardening of the U.S.-led operational posture, where coordination with Israel is deliberately limited while Washington escalates its military campaign.
