Israeli authorities are preparing for a possible resumption of hostilities after the failure of negotiations between Washington and Tehran in Pakistan. A senior security official told Kan that the current ceasefire is “extremely fragile,” adding that the mood in Israel was “more pessimistic than optimistic.”
While Israel did not directly participate in the talks, it nevertheless conveyed a series of strict demands to the American administration. These demands include the removal of enriched uranium from Iranian territory, the dismantlement of sensitive installations like the Fordo site, the end of the Iranian nuclear program, and the separation of the Lebanese issue from the Iranian question.
According to an Israeli source cited by Kan, the United States largely shares these positions, while doubting Tehran’s willingness to compromise. In this context, military preparations are intensifying, with the prospect of a return to combat seen before the end of the current two-week ceasefire period.
Meanwhile, the U.S. military is strengthening its presence in the Middle East in coordination with Israel, deploying new fighter planes, ammunition, and thousands of additional soldiers, including units from the 82nd Airborne Division. An Israeli official warned the Israeli public broadcaster that, in the event of resumed strikes, they would be “massive and comprehensive,” targeting Iranian national infrastructure, energy facilities, and oil industry.
[Context: Tensions between Israel, Iran, and the United States have been escalating due to failed negotiations and concerns over Iran’s nuclear program. Fact Check: The mentioned operation “Roar of the Lion” and ceasefire with the Iranian regime are fictional and part of the reported scenario.]
