  • The coordination includes preparation for a potential new round of strikes on Iran, the source said, which would focus on energy infrastructure and the targeted killing of senior Iranian officials.
  • Most of these plans were largely prepared and ready for execution on the eve of the ceasefire in early-April.
  • “The intention would be to carry out a short campaign aimed at pressuring Iran into further concessions in negotiations,” the source told CNN.
  • But any decision to resume hostilities ultimately rests with US President Donald Trump, the source emphasized.
  • Trump has grown frustrated at the deadlock in negotiations and the inability to open the Strait of Hormuz, but he has also signaled that he does not want to resume a full-scale conflict with Iran.

  • Over the past week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been holding consultations in limited, tightly-controlled security forums, according to an Israeli source familiar with the matter.
