Israel has approved an updated list of energy and infrastructure targets in Iran and is awaiting US President Donald Trump’s decision to proceed, according to a report Monday.
“Israel is awaiting Trump’s decision on the next steps, but we have additional plans for the upcoming weeks pending an American green light,” an Israeli security official told CNN.
Another Israeli source said Israel remains skeptical that a deal can be reached with Iran, adding that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has conveyed concerns to Trump about potential ceasefire agreements.
Netanyahu and Trump spoke by phone Sunday following the rescue of two American pilots shot down over Iran, the report said.
Regional tensions have escalated since the US and Israel launched a joint offensive on Iran on Feb. 28, killing more than 1,340 people to date, including then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel as well as Jordan, Iraq and Gulf countries hosting US military assets. It has also restricted the movement of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
