US pauses Iran attack after ceasefire break as Israel reveals plot to kill Trump
Israeli officials have signaled readiness to strike Iran again, while reports suggest the U.S. is currently discouraging direct Israeli involvement in ongoing operations. Tensions remain high as Israel monitors new security threats.
Why it matters
The potential for renewed military conflict between Israel and Iran poses significant risks to regional stability and U.S. foreign policy objectives.
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.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also warned Thursday that Israel’s campaign against Iran was not finished and said Tehran would not be permitted to obtain a nuclear weapon, regardless of any agreement reached with Washington.
