A senior Israeli defense official revealed on Saturday that Israel is preparing to carry out attacks targeting Iran’s energy facilities, but is still awaiting approval from the United States, noting that the strikes could occur in the coming days.

 

 

The official explained that preparations are underway on multiple levels amid escalating tensions between the two sides, suggesting that energy facilities could be a major target in any upcoming escalation.

 

 

 

 

These statements come after a final warning issued by U.S. President Donald Trump to Iran that gave Tehran a 48‑hour deadline, raising questions about Washington’s readiness to support additional Israeli military operations against Tehran.
