According to CoinMeta, on August 1st local time, an Israeli official revealed that Israel believes that U.S. President Donald Trump is currently closer than ever to approving a major military strike against Iran, although the relevant plans have not yet been finalized. Based on the details of the contingency plan disclosed by the official, the U.S. is considering precise and limited strikes against specific Iranian energy facilities. The assessment indicates that the U.S. is currently inclined not to involve Israel in the initial phase of the attack. However, Israel believes that if the U.S. carries out a major strike against Iran, it is likely to trigger direct military retaliation from Iran, and Israel may then be forced to become involved in the conflict. As a result, Israel's defense agencies are maintaining a high state of alert.
