Israel Prepares for Potential U.S. Green Light on Strikes Against Iran's Ballistic Missiles
Israel is reportedly preparing for a unilateral strike on Iran’s ballistic missile infrastructure if the U.S. does not secure a deal addressing Tehran's arsenal. KAN reports shared intelligence points to a "red line" for Israeli security.
Israel is actively preparing for the scenario of receiving U.S. approval to target Iran's ballistic missile infrastructure, according to a report from Israeli public broadcaster KAN, as cited by Anadolu Agency.
This development aligns with ongoing escalations in U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations and Israel's heightened defensive posture amid fears of diplomatic failure.
KAN emphasizes shared intelligence between Israel and the U.S. on Iran's missile program, with Israeli officials warning that ballistic missiles could be sidelined in talks, prompting unilateral considerations if necessary.
Earlier assessments from Israeli military analysts predicted the collapse of U.S.-Iran talks, highlighting concerns that Iran's ballistic missile arsenal, capable of reaching deep into Israeli territory, would remain unaddressed.
Officials have reportedly briefed U.S. counterparts on potential strikes, with Israel stating it may proceed independently if Tehran crosses red lines on missile development.
No direct confirmation from the Israeli Prime Minister's Office or the White House has been issued, but sources indicate close coordination, including intelligence sharing on Iran's post-conflict missile rebuilding efforts.
This follows Israel's recent activation of a high-level defensive alert and preparations for multi-front threats.
