Israel is prepared for another two weeks of war with Iran and has planned a list of targets for attacks, including infrastructure and economic facilities, while continuing to hit Iran's defense industries.
“The Iranian economy would be Israel’s next target,” the Kan public broadcaster reported.
Security officials told the channel that Israel has prepared a list of targets for attacks in the coming weeks, including infrastructure and bridges, as well as less frequently targeted sites such as energy and oil facilities.
Kan said Israeli officials believe the war could last longer than two weeks, and Israel is preparing accordingly.
The new timeframe extends past the four to six weeks initially set by the White House.
Meanwhile, Israel’s i24NEWS quoted senior Israeli officials as saying there is no expectation of a slowdown in operations in Iran, quite the opposite. The campaign to dismantle key infrastructure is intensifying, as this remains the primary arena shaping wider regional developments.
Sources said Israeli high-ranking military officials and US Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander Brad Cooper agreed in a meeting to continue strikes on Iran for another two to three weeks with a bank of targets including economic centers and banks.
Israel’s second phase represents a major strategic shift in the bank of targets against Iran, setting the military’s sights on the country’s economy, according to Kan.
In addition to the ongoing attacks on military facilities, Israel and the United States plan to hit Iran’s economic sectors, including financial institutions, banks, energy infrastructure, and petrochemical facilities that form the regime’s main “lifeline”.
According to the plan, the United States will operate in the designated areas under its responsibility, while the Israeli army will deepen its attacks on Iran’s basic infrastructure in various regions.
The new decisions were taken as US President Donald Trump told Tehran that his latest deadline for a deal to end the war was fast approaching.
“Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out — 48 hours before all Hell will reign (sic) down on them,” he wrote in a post on Truth Social.
Trump's messaging about the war has veered between hinting at diplomatic progress and making threats to bomb Iran “back to the Stone Ages.”
Kan noted that the new target list awaits Trump’s approval as the US President has not yet given up on negotiations with Iran.
