Israel Prepares Options to Strike Iran Again, Gold Prices Skyrocket?
Israel-Iran tensions are back in the spotlight after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said over the weekend that officials are preparing materials to brief US President Donald Trump on options for a new attack on Iran. This statement signals that the Iran issue has returned to the top security agenda between Israel and the United States.
The background is the escalation that heated up in the middle of the year, when the Israel-Iran conflict escalated and raised major concerns about Iran's military capabilities, including the issue of nuclear facilities and weapons development.
In the latest development, Israeli concerns are cited regarding Iran's alleged efforts to rebuild critical facilities previously attacked, which are considered to have the potential to restore Iran's strategic capabilities more quickly than expected.
Furthermore, Israel's attention is also focused on the development of Iran's ballistic missile program. Israel believes that the increased missile capabilities could pose a direct threat, so a military response is again being considered as a deterrent.
This "ready to brief" statement comes amidst signals of more intensive meetings or coordination between Israel and the US. The Iran issue is expected to be a key topic due to its significant impact on regional stability and the security interests of both countries.
This situation also reinforces the message that Israel wants to ensure support and strategic alignment with Washington, especially if tensions escalate and quick decisions are needed in a short time.
For now, it's clear that Israel is finalizing its options and coordination channels, while the world waits to see whether these steps will lead to concrete action or simply serve as political pressure and a deterrent strategy against Iran. (asd)
