The United States has informed Israel of its plan to escalate military strikes against Iran in the coming days.
Citing Israeli and American sources, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported the move marks a shift in the ongoing US-Israel campaign. The joint military operations, codenamed Operation Epic Fury and Operation Roaring Lion, have previously focused on Iran's military logistics and nuclear facilities.
The planned expansion to target economic infrastructure is expected to further strain diplomatic relations. It signals a reduced likelihood of any near-term peace deal or reconstruction funding agreement between Washington and Tehran.
Market analysts are monitoring the situation closely. They note a decreased probability of a US-Iran reconstruction deal and an increased chance of Israel closing its airspace, with developments expected by the end of July.
