A report Friday evening indicates that the United States has provided Israel with detailed plans for strikes inside Iran, as part of preparations for a prolonged military campaign. The Israeli and American assessment reportedly holds that the Memorandum of Understanding with Tehran is no longer relevant, and that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's hardening position leaves the military option as central.
The United States has reportedly updated Israel on detailed plans for strikes inside Iran, according to a Friday evening report. The update comes amid the highest level of military readiness in Israel, as reported by The Zioneer earlier today (Friday, 12:18 Jerusalem), when the IDF was placed on alert following US updates on strike intentions. Now, a more specific operational picture is emerging, including the division of targets and preparations for a prolonged campaign. The report also notes that Israeli and American assessments now consider the Memorandum of Understanding with Tehran to be defunct, and view Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's hardening stance as leaving the military option as the primary path forward. As part of the preparations, scenarios are being examined to keep Ben Gurion Airport operational under missile threat. The situation remains highly fluid, with the region bracing for possible escalation.
