An Israeli official said regional tensions have reached a peak and are close to erupting, according to Israel’s Channel 12, as cited by BlockBeats on Aug. 2. The official said Israel’s assessment is that U.S. President Donald Trump is closer than ever to launching a major strike on Iran, though no final decision has been made. Israel has already raised its alert level.
The official said Trump had not yet decided on the scale of any strike, and it remained unclear whether he wanted Israel to take part in the first phase of an operation. The same official also described Trump as viewing negotiations as “a waste of time” and said he was “angry, irritated and frustrated.”
According to the official, one option presented to Trump by the White House backs Israel’s assessment that a large, targeted attack on energy facilities could destabilize the Iranian government. The official said such a strike could be carried out quickly and would not necessarily trigger an “energy war” that pushes up global energy prices. It is still unclear whether Trump will choose that option or continue blockade measures until the midterm elections.

The official said a proposal presented to Trump by the White House aligns with Israel’s assessment that a large-scale, targeted strike on energy facilities could destabilize the Iranian government.
The same official said such a forceful strike could be completed in time and would not necessarily trigger an “energy war” that drives up global energy prices. The targets, the official said, would be specific facilities that could have a major impact on the Iranian public.
It remains unclear whether Trump will choose that option or maintain blockade measures until the midterm elections. The official said the question is not whether action will be taken, but when, adding that “all signs indicate” Trump appears to have little choice but to move in that direction. The report cited Jin10 as the source carried in the BlockBeats item.
