Israel has signaled to the US its readiness for a large-scale and prolonged conflict with Iran. Joint planning between Israel and the US has entered a new stage, with both sides discussing the distribution of tasks in a potential protracted military campaign. Unlike previous local episodes of escalation, the current preparations by the IDF indicate a calculation for a prolonged confrontation. Military correspondent Avi Ashkenazi notes that Israel has already conveyed a clear message to the US and key allies: the strategy is shifting from one-off retaliatory acts to readiness for large-scale and sustained operations. According to security talks, Israel's area of responsibility includes destroying IRGC aerospace forces facilities and striking military infrastructure deep inside Iran. The US area of responsibility includes striking the most protected targets and providing strategic intelligence. The preparation of Ben-Gurion Airport's infrastructure to operate under potential fire has become a key indicator of preparations for a long war. Civil aviation activity has decreased by about 70%, and the airport is being reoriented to receive US military cargo. Military analyst Fabian Hoffmann emphasizes that the new campaign may focus on increasing pressure on Iranian missile systems and command centers.
