According to CoinMeta, and as reported by Israel's Channel 12, an Israeli official stated that the current tense situation has reached its peak and is on the verge of erupting. The Israeli side believes that U.S. President Donald Trump is closer than ever to launching a major strike against Iran, but there is no firm conclusion yet. Israel has already raised its level of alert. The official said that Trump has not decided on the scale of the attack, and it is still unclear whether he wishes for Israel to participate in the initial phase of the operation. He added that Trump considers negotiations to be a waste of time and is angry, annoyed, and frustrated. The plan proposed to Trump by the White House supports Israel's assessment that a large-scale, targeted attack on energy facilities could shake the Iranian regime. The official noted that such a powerful strike could be completed in a timely manner and might not necessarily lead to an energy war that causes global energy prices to rise. The targets would be specific facilities that could have a significant impact on the Iranian people. It is still unclear whether Trump will choose this plan or continue to maintain the sanctions until the mid-term elections. All signs indicate that Trump seems to have no other choice but to move in this direction.
