"Israeli officials" are allegedly "actively pushing" Rapin' Bombin' Golfin' Grampy to launch a major attack on Iran [View all]
The Trump administration is actively being pushed to launch a major attack on Iran’s energy infrastructure by Israeli officials, The New Arab reported Saturday, citing an “informed” Israeli source whose claim was shared on Israel’s Channel 12.
“According to the report, Israeli officials believe Iran’s energy infrastructure could be destroyed ‘within 24 hours,’ forcing Tehran into negotiations ‘from a position of severe weakness,’” The New Arab’s report reads. “One Israeli official cited by the broadcaster said: ‘If the regime does not fall, then at the very least it will become paralyzed.’”
President Donald Trump first threatened to destroy Iran’s energy infrastructure in late March, and again in early April, writing in a curse-laden message that unless Tehran fully re-opened the Strait of Hormuz – a critical shipping waterway through which 20% of the world’s oil trade flows – the United States would decimate Iran’s power plants.
Trump ultimately backed off of those threats, but according to reporting from The New Arab and The Cradle, is now under immense pressure from Israel to finally make good on his ultimatum, and despite the United States and Iran having agreed to a temporary ceasefire.
