Netanyahu Says "Will Continue With Full Force" Air Strikes on Iran; US Media Reports Israel Concerned About Trump Sudden Ceasefire

People’s Financial News, March 26 — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on the 25th that Israel will continue to fully carry out military operations against Iran. According to The New York Times, due to concerns that U.S. President Trump might suddenly end the war, Israel is rushing to airstrike as many priority targets inside Iran as possible. Netanyahu made these remarks during a video conference with local government leaders in northern Israel. A source from Israeli security agencies told Haaretz that the focus of Israeli airstrikes has shifted from government targets in Iran to military targets, including weapons production facilities and military assets. The report states that the Israel Defense Forces believe targeting military objectives is crucial to prevent Iran’s military capabilities from being restored in the medium to long term. The New York Times, on the 25th, citing senior Israeli officials and informed sources, reported that as negotiations between the U.S. and Iran become more likely, Netanyahu, upon learning of the U.S. draft 15-point plan aimed at ending the Iran conflict, ordered the destruction of Iranian military industrial facilities within the next 48 hours. The report indicates that the Israeli government’s sense of urgency reflects internal concerns that Trump might announce the start of peace negotiations at any time. The Israeli government believes that the 15-point plan does not adequately ensure the containment of Iran’s nuclear program and ballistic missile capabilities. (Xinhua)
