Israel Seeks to Resume War on Iran Awaiting Decision from Trump... Key Points of Disagreement in the Negotiations

SadaNews - Israel is seeking to resume the war on Iran, awaiting a decision from U.S. President Donald Trump, following stalled negotiations between Tehran and Washington and escalating tensions regarding the Iranian nuclear program.

The Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation ("Kan 11") reported, citing a senior security source, that the military operation launched by Tel Aviv and Washington against Iran "stopped very early" without applying enough pressure on Tehran regarding its nuclear and ballistic missile programs, while the closure of the Strait of Hormuz continues.

The report indicated that Israel is awaiting Trump's decision while the Israeli army is preparing, in cooperation with Washington, to resume the war, including the reinforcement of U.S. forces that continue to flow into the Middle East.

The same Israeli source added that coordination between Israel and the United States is taking place at the highest levels, noting that the head of the U.S. Central Command, Brad Cooper, will visit Israel tomorrow, Monday.

According to the "Kan 11" report, if Israel receives the "green light" from Trump, it intends to target civil infrastructure and energy reserves across Iran, with the aim of exerting economic pressure on the Iranian regime to agree to abandon its nuclear program.

Washington and Tehran Interested in Continuing Ceasefire

The Israeli Channel 12 reported that the Chief of Staff of the Israeli army, Eyal Zamir, directed preparations for the possibility that Iran might launch a preemptive strike against Israel.

The channel also reported that Israeli assessments indicate that both Tehran and Washington are interested in maintaining the ceasefire.

According to Channel 12, the central points of disagreement in the stalled negotiations between Tehran and Washington are:

Freezing uranium enrichment in Iran.

Removing enriched uranium from Iran.

Dismantling the key enrichment facilities that have previously been targeted.

The extent of lifting the freeze on Iranian funds imposed under the sanctions.

The date for reopening the Strait of Hormuz and canceling fees for that.

A regional security agreement and stopping Iran's funding for its allies.

Israeli officials, commenting on Trump's threats regarding the Strait of Hormuz and targeting infrastructure, stated that "this is not just about closing ports, but rather crippling the oil industry, and thus striking the Iranian regime and the Revolutionary Guards' ability to govern, as well as hitting Iran's economy."

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that Washington would begin imposing a naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, renewing his threat to destroy energy infrastructure in Iran if a final agreement to end the war is not reached, just hours after talks between the two parties failed in Islamabad.

Trump told "Fox News": "I can eliminate Iran in one day... I can take out all their energy-related facilities, all their electrical generation stations."

Earlier, Trump confirmed in a post on his "Truth Social" platform that the talks in Pakistan were "good" and that "most points were agreed upon," but he noted that Tehran refused to make concessions regarding its nuclear program.

He added that in response, "the U.S. Navy, the best in the world, will immediately prevent all ships trying to enter or exit the Strait of Hormuz," warning that "any Iranian who fires at us or at peaceful ships will be sent to hell."
