A senior U.S. official stated that Israel will strike major facilities in Iran, according to i24NEWS diplomatic correspondent Amichai Stein. The warning comes amid ongoing Israeli air operations against Iranian military infrastructure, which have included strikes on air defense systems, radar installations, command-and-control facilities, and a critical pump at Iran's largest petrochemical complex over the past three days, as The Zioneer has reported. The statement represents the clearest public attribution of targeting intent by a U.S. official since the current campaign began. It was not specified which facilities are being referred to, nor what timeframe was discussed. The IRGC has previously warned of retaliation against regional energy infrastructure. No further details from the U.S. official's briefing have been released.
