US and Israel plan major strike on Iran's energy infrastructure
The United States and Israel are reportedly preparing a large‑scale missile operation aimed at Iran's energy facilities, including power plants and oil refineries. The plan was discussed during a cabinet meeting at Camp David, with President Donald Trump considering the strike but not yet issuing a final order.
Some White House advisors have opposed the proposal, citing concerns about economic impact and potential disruption to financial markets. Officials have discussed completing the operation before the opening of U.S. financial markets on Monday.
Iranian officials have warned of retaliation against critical infrastructure in Israel and several Gulf states. Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been briefed on the plans.
