Israeli media: military ready for possible new round with Iran, decision rests with Trump
Israeli media reports say the Israeli military has completed its preparations for a possible resumption of military confrontation with Iran. According to the reports, any decision to return to fighting still depends on US President Donald Trump.
Why it matters
A return to fighting between Israel and Iran could raise security tensions across the region and affect energy markets and shipping. The reports also point to Washington's decisive role in determining whether escalation occurs.
Background
The reports speak of 'resuming' the confrontation, which indicates that an earlier round of fighting took place between Israel and Iran. The United States is a key ally of Israel, so Washington's position is seen as an important factor in any major Israeli military decision.
