Iran’s Ballistic Missile Program Seen as Existential Threat
According to the post, high-level exchanges have outlined 'Israel’s' operational plans to degrade Iran’s missile infrastructure over recent weeks, including potential strikes on key manufacturing sites.
One official described the situation as a “historic opportunity” to deliver a significant blow to Iran’s missile capabilities and neutralize active threats to 'Israel' and neighboring states.
'Israel' Maintains Freedom of Action
Officials stressed that 'Israel' reserves the right to act independently and will not allow Iran to restore strategic weapons systems on a scale that could threaten the country’s existence. Plans reportedly include targeting additional facilities connected to Iran’s missile program.
Concerns Over Limited U.S. Strikes
'Israeli' officials expressed concern that U.S. President Donald Trump might adopt a limited strike approach, similar to recent operations against the Houthis in Yemen, which could leave Iran’s core missile capabilities intact.
“The worry is he might choose a few targets, declare success, and leave Israel to deal with the fallout, just like with the Houthis,” said another Israeli military official.
