War or agreement: IDF is arrayed against Iran - and awaits Trump's decision

The IDF has completed its preparations for a campaign against Iran, but the decision to launch an operation rests with President Trump, who stands between continuing negotiations and a joint strike. American transport planes have arrived in Israel, and the Air Force has practiced a sortie toward Iran's border. The American targets and the end mechanism remain unclear.

The IDF has completed its preparations for a possible campaign against Iran, both defensive and offensive, and Israel's level of readiness is very high. The decision on whether to launch a campaign lies not in Jerusalem but in Washington: President Trump stands between an attempt to reach an agreement with Tehran and a resumption of military strikes in coordination with Israel. Ten American transport planes arrived in Israel this week as part of an airlift of military equipment. According to foreign reports, dozens of Israeli fighter jets conducted a sortie over Syria and Iraq up to near Iran's border. The commander of US Central Command presented Trump with military options. Meanwhile, there are reports of progress in talks between the US and Iran, but the gaps remain large. Supreme Leader Khamenei has threatened an immediate and significant response to any threat. The article raises questions about the strategic objective and the end mechanism of the campaign.
