Binyamin Netanyahu ordered on Tuesday to carry out large-scale attacks on Iran's weapons infrastructure, reports the New York Times, citing two Israeli officials. The operation is to last 48 hours and cover as many strategic locations as possible related to Iran's military industry.
Israel fears the peace agreement between the US and Iran
The haste of the Israeli authorities results from fears of Donald Trump suddenly concluding an agreement, explains the New York Times. Jerusalem fears a scenario in which the American president announces the end of hostilities before the Israeli army achieves its operational goals.
Israel has concerns about the US peace plan
The Israeli authorities previously declared that they intended to eliminate the Iranian nuclear program and destroy its missile arsenal and factories producing this weapons. There are also plans to limit Tehran's support for armed groups associated with it in the region, including Lebanese Hezbollah.
The American proposal, the content of which was leaked to the media, is quite general in nature and has aroused concern among Israeli leaders. They fear that the document does not contain sufficient guarantees to limit Iran's nuclear and missile programs, wrote the New York Times.
The US and Israel launched an attack on Iran on February 28. Since then, Tehran has responded with systematic missile and drone strikes on the territory of Israel and the Persian Gulf countries.
