War to resume: Israel considers new strikes on Iran in coordination with the US

ALBAWABA - In a shocking escalation, Israel announced that its authorities are coordinating with the United States on potential attacks on Iran, according to a CNN report.

The CNN said, citing Israeli sources, that Tel Aviv is aligning with the U.S. on potential fresh airstrikes against Tehran as tensions escalate in the Strait of Hormuz despite the truce.

According to the Israeli sources, the strikes will include targeting energy infrastructure and senior Iranian officials.

"The intention would be to carry out a short campaign aimed at pressuring Iran into further concessions in negotiations," the source revealed.

Israel and the U.S. launched a preemptive attack on Iran on Feb. 28. The war continued for 40 days until President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire deal, which was extended for an unannounced date.

Yesterday, Trump announced Operation "Project Freedom" to help safe passage of ships stranded in the Strait of Hormuz. Senior Iranian military commanders were killed in the attacks, including the then-supreme leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei.

Today, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said it destroyed seven boats belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC).
