The United States and Israel are planning to initiate a harsh bombing campaign on energy infrastructure in Iran, according to a Friday CBS News report citing multiple sources.<\/p>\n
According to the report, the wave of strikes could be among the harshest to date and may begin over the weekend, targeting power plants and refineries.<\/p>\n
Multiple US sources told CBS that Israel has been notified of the potential strikes and has been coordinating with the American military, but noted that US President Donald Trump has not given final approval for the plan.<\/p>\n
One Israeli official denied the claims, telling CBS that \u201cIsrael is unaware of a decision to restart full military operations, nor has it been requested of Israel to join any military actions against Iran.”<\/p>\n
The plan was reportedly discussed on Friday during a cabinet meeting held at Camp David, sources briefed later stated.<\/p>\n
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told CBS that Trump, during the cabinet meeting, asserted that \u201cthe United States will win, and Iran will not have a nuclear weapon under his watch.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump additionally told reporters at the Camp David retreat that the US will be hitting Iran.<\/p>\n
“We’ll be hitting them very hard,\u201d Trump said. \u201cAt some point, they’re going to say, ‘We just can’t take it anymore.'”<\/p>\n
