A source familiar with Israel’s military plans told Reuters that Washington is in constant contact with Tel Aviv and is keeping it informed about the details of the ongoing talks with Tehran.
According to the source, it is likely that Israel will follow the example of the United States and also temporarily stop targeting Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure. Despite this information, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to give any official comment on the US-Iran talks or the White House’s decision to postpone the strikes.
These developments are taking place against the backdrop of an ultimatum set by President Donald Trump, which was set to expire late on Monday. Recall that Trump had threatened to destroy Iran’s energy system if Tehran did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz to all types of shipping within 48 hours.
