Per Israeli Channel 12, Israel has conveyed a message to the U.S. advocating for a decisive shift in objective.
Israeli officials are urging the U.S. to prioritize the complete destruction of Iran’s energy infrastructure as the move that breaks the current stalemate.
The Israeli position, as relayed by these sources, suggests the operation could be completed within a 24-hour window.
The rationale is that rapid and total neutralization of Iran’s energy sector would effectively cripple the economy, leaving Tehran with no choice but to enter negotiations in a submissive state.
This is the maximum-pressure scenario Netanyahu’s government has been pushing since the ceasefire began, and the timing is no accident.
Iran has signaled it’s moving toward accepting the U.S. memorandum of understanding with modifications. The diplomatic track is converging.
Trump is six days from the China summit and racing to close a deal he can present to Xi as a foreign policy victory.
Israel’s intervention is designed to derail exactly that outcome.
A 24-hour total destruction of Iranian energy infrastructure would be a strategic catastrophe that ends any possibility of Iran agreeing to anything close to a face-saving deal.
It would also drive global oil to levels that crash economies worldwide.
