Israel warns of third Iran strike as US tries to limit its role
Israeli officials have signaled readiness for a third strike against Iran, while reports suggest the U.S. is attempting to manage the scope of Israel's military involvement. Tensions remain high as both nations coordinate on regional security and nuclear non-proliferation.
Why it matters
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran has significant implications for global energy markets and Middle Eastern geopolitical stability.
Israel’s leaders are publicly signaling that their country is prepared to strike Iran for a third time, while a U.S. official tells Fox News Digital that Washington remains closely coordinated with Jerusalem. "The IDF is on high alert and prepared to resume the campaign, regain air superiority, and carry out an independent Israeli strike against Iran to eliminate threats — even for a third time," Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Minister Israel Katz said Thursday at a graduation ceremony for the Israeli Air Force’s newest pilots. "If we have to return, we will return with even greater force," Katz added.
