Israel Prepares for Expanded Military Campaign Against Iran with US Coordination
Israel is preparing for the possibility of a broader military confrontation with Iran beyond previous clashes, according to a report by the Emirati site Aram News. In recent days, Israel has communicated to the United States and several allied countries that it is ready for a wider campaign. An American diplomatic source involved in security talks with Israel revealed that discussions focus on the duration of operations, the scale of Israeli involvement, and the types of targets Israel would engage if US President Donald Trump decides to escalate the conflict against Iran.
The talks include dividing roles between the US and Israeli militaries. Israel may target Iran’s air and space forces and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps deep inside Iran, while US forces would focus on targets requiring heavier armaments, longer-range strikes, and ongoing intelligence support. Israel has also requested guarantees for continued US assistance in defense and intelligence throughout the campaign. Coordination aims to avoid operational overlap and enable Israel to conduct multiple waves of strikes if Iran retaliates against Israeli cities or military sites.
Alongside offensive preparations, Israeli local authorities have reopened public bomb shelters that were closed after the last round of conflict. The Home Front Command has not issued new emergency instructions yet, but security forces remain on high alert. Preparations at Ben Gurion Airport have been completed to maintain flight operations during potential missile or drone attacks, ensuring supply lines and US aid flights remain open even if the conflict prolongs.
The report emphasizes that these preparations do not indicate a final decision to launch a new campaign. However, the reopening of shelters, airport readiness, and military coordination with Washington suggest Israel is preparing for a scenario that could extend beyond brief exchanges of fire.
