Iran (Monitoring Desk): Iranian media report that airstrikes have targeted areas near Mashhad Airport in northeastern Iran and the central city of Kashan.
According to informed sources, the Israeli military has accelerated attacks on key targets in Iran amid rising prospects of negotiations between the U.S. and Tehran, and concerns in Tel Aviv that military operations could soon be halted.
The New York Times reported that senior Israeli officials stated Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had ordered last Tuesday that maximum damage be inflicted on Iran’s defense industry within 48 hours.
Sources indicate the decision followed briefings on a 15-point U.S. plan, believed to have been sent to Iran, with some officials attending meetings discussing its details.
Experts warn that these strikes could escalate regional tensions and potentially affect upcoming negotiations.
