After the end of war: Why is Israel bracing for a US attack on Iran?

ALBAWABA - Israeli media say that Israel is getting ready for the chance that the US will attack Iran soon, as tensions in the region continue to rise.

According to unnamed sources quoted by Channel 12, Israeli officials don't know if a possible US strike would be small or big. At the same time, Israel is also getting ready for Iran to possibly act before an attack happens if it thinks one is coming. 

The report also said that Eyal Zamir, the chief of staff of the Israeli military, has increased coordination with the US Central Command by having more talks to make sure that both sides agree on possible military scenarios.
Also, diplomatic attempts seem to be going on, even though they have had some setbacks recently. CBS reported that a top official from the US State Department has joined the team that is negotiating with Iran. After the talks in Islamabad earlier in April broke down, the team includes people with ties to President Trump's government. 

The development comes as lawmakers in the US Congress are looking more closely at the talks. They are wondering why there aren't any nuclear experts from key government agencies there.

The larger conflict has not been solved even though the US and Israel stopped their military operation against Iran weeks ago. The stalemate has already made it very hard for people around the world to get energy. 

Iran has made it harder for most ships to pass through the Gulf for more than two months, letting only its own ships go through. At the same time, Washington has put restrictions on ships leaving Iranian ports. 

There has been no progress in talks, and military coordination is getting stronger. This suggests that there is a delicate balance between diplomacy and the risk of a new escalation.
