Israel warned the US administration that it would target Iran's energy resources as an alternative to toppling the regime if negotiations failed. This threat comes amid continued military escalation on the Lebanese border despite the ceasefire agreement.
The Israeli-Lebanese border is witnessing a continuous military escalation despite the ceasefire agreement, where three Israeli soldiers were seriously and moderately injured by targeting a military position near the border with a drone, while Israeli forces succeeded in intercepting several other drones launched by Hezbollah. Israeli forces responded by deepening their raids to reach the Bekaa region, following Hezbollah's targeting of the suburbs of Haifa, in a mutual escalation that confirms the fragility of an agreement Cessation of hostilities. This field escalation comes ahead of a planned round of direct negotiations between Israel and Lebanon next weekend, in which officers from both sides will participate along with the ambassadors of the two countries in Washington, to discuss the deployment of the Lebanese army southward and the demarcation of the land border. In the same context, Israel informed the US administration, according to an Israeli political source, that it would resort to targeting Iranian energy resources as an alternative to overthrowing the regime in the event of a failure of negotiations American-Iranian and decide to go back to fighting. Israel believes that the targeting of Iranian energy facilities, which can be carried out in just twenty-four hours, will force Tehran to quickly return to the negotiating table and make concessions, according to the Israeli strategic reading.
