Haaretz: Israel expects US-Iran talks to collapse Israel believes talks between the United States and Iran are likely to collapse without an agreement, according to an Israeli political source cited by Haaretz. The report said Israel has a list of targets ready if Washington expands its campaign, including energy facilities, if US President Donald Trump lifts restrictions on strikes against Iranian infrastructure.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has signalled readiness to intensify strikes, including attacks on petrochemical facilities, as Israel continues to monitor developments in US-Iran talks, the report said. Iran has said that US-Israeli air attacks have damaged dozens of universities, schools and research facilities in Iran. Officials have said that more than 100,000 civilian sites have been impacted nationwide since the war began on 28 February.
