Israel is coordinating with the U.S. as escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz threaten the Iran ceasefire.

•⁠ ⁠Officials are preparing for a potential short, targeted strike on Iranian energy infrastructure and senior officials.

•⁠ ⁠Many of the strike plans were already prepared and ready before the early-April ceasefire but are now gaining urgency after renewed Iranian missile fire toward the Gulf.

•⁠ ⁠Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is holding limited security consultations, while the final decision on any military action rests with President Donald Trump, who has signaled he does not want a full-scale war.
