US and Israel prepare new strikes on Iran

U.S. officials told several media outlets on Friday that the United States is preparing to reopen military strikes against Iran as early as this weekend. The announcement follows a series of diplomatic warnings and reflects ongoing concerns about Tehran’s regional activities. According to CBS News, Israel is also participating in the planning, with both nations aiming to conduct what officials described as “one of the harshest bombing campaigns to date” targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure.

The coordinated effort would focus on facilities that support Iran’s oil and gas production, a sector that analysts say is critical to the country’s economy and its ability to fund military operations. While specific operational details remain undisclosed, the reported involvement of both U.S. and Israeli forces underscores a heightened level of cooperation in response to perceived threats from Tehran. The planned strikes, if carried out, would mark a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between the United States, Israel, and Iran.
