Israel: Operations for Up to Two Weeks in Iran – How Targets are Shared with the US

The Israeli military is preparing for operations lasting one to two weeks within Iran, planning to hit thousands of additional targets and military installations, with the ultimate goal of weakening the Iranian regime and its military infrastructure. Some officials believe that other Gulf states may eventually join the offensive campaign, although they are currently focused on defense. Cooperation with the US military is critical, with a division of labor based on geographical areas and types of targets. The Israeli military is undertaking attacks against Iranian ballistic missile launchers in western and central Iran, while the US military is targeting launchers in southern Iran. The US has fully taken responsibility for the destruction of the Iranian navy, while Israel is focusing on other targets, such as regime positions in Tehran. The Israeli Air Force relies heavily on the refueling capabilities of the US military. According to Israeli officials, the current conflict is the first full-scale joint war between Israel and the US against Iran, after extensive joint planning. “Joint teams” are operating to coordinate intelligence, targets and defense, with more than 1,000 American soldiers stationed in Israel.
