Reports indicate that the United States and Israel are increasing military readiness amid growing tensions with Iran, with officials allegedly considering renewed coordinated operations in the coming weeks.
According to sources cited in regional media, recent negotiations involving Pakistan and supported by China failed to produce progress over disputes tied to Iran’s nuclear activities and control of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil shipping route.
U.S. defense planners are said to have presented multiple response scenarios to President Donald Trump, ranging from expanded airstrikes on Iranian military and infrastructure targets to more aggressive measures involving strategic energy facilities and potential ground operations aimed at securing enriched uranium stockpiles.
Israeli officials reportedly stated that their military has already begun preparations for a possible escalation and is awaiting a final decision from Washington.
The developments come after a temporary ceasefire reached in April helped pause a wider regional conflict that had disrupted oil exports and energy markets across the Middle East.
Meanwhile, U.S. authorities are also investigating a cyber incident that allegedly targeted fuel monitoring systems linked to gas station supply networks in several American states. Early reports suggest the attack affected display data rather than actual fuel infrastructure, and no formal attribution has yet been announced.
