JERUSALEM, Israel – Israel is on high alert as officials prepare for the possibility that fighting with Iran could resume within days. In Washington, President Donald Trump is reviewing new military options, while signaling that Iran may still be open to a deal.
The Israel Defense Forces are increasing military readiness, while officials hold a series of high-level consultations as they monitor developments from the White House and Pentagon.
Trump is being briefed by U.S. CENTCOM Chief Adm. Brad Cooper on the potential military action.
Media reports indicate that the options include a "short and powerful" series of strikes aimed at pressuring in ongoing negotiations, as well as possible operations involving the Strait of Hormuz to ensure the flow of commercial shipping.
