The United States and Israel have updated their joint target
bank, placing greater focus on Iran’s energy infrastructure, Israeli media
outlets reported on Sunday, as preparations continue for a possible breakdown
of the current US-Iran temporary ceasefire.
Citing a senior Israeli official, Maariv detailed close
coordination between the Israeli military and US Central Command (CENTCOM),
following recent meetings held in Israel, including discussions between CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper and Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir.
“We are prepared, and so are the Americans, for this
possibility. If we are forced to resume fighting, we know what needs to be
done. The strikes we carry out will be very painful and will inflict extremely
significant damage on the Iranians,” the official added.
The development come as the two-week truce between
Washington and Tehran is due to end on April 21. Earlier today, the Wall Street
Journal stated that US President Donald Trump expects a possible breakthrough
in negotiations with Iran, particularly over its nuclear enrichment program and
regional role, with a return to military operations remaining an option if no
deal is reached.
