Israel Weighs Renewed Military Campaign Against Iran Pending U.S. Approval

Apr 12, 2026·2 min read

Israel is considering restarting its military campaign against Iran, with preparations already underway in coordination with the United States, according to a report aired Sunday by Kan News.

A senior security source cited in the report said that Operation “Roaring Lion” was brought to a halt prematurely, before Israel had achieved sufficient leverage over Iran’s nuclear program and ballistic missile capabilities, and while the Strait of Hormuz was still not reopened.

The report states that Israel is now waiting for a decision from President Donald Trump, even as the IDF continues to make operational preparations alongside U.S. forces for a possible renewed offensive against Iran.

As part of these preparations, additional American military assets are continuing to arrive in the region, with close coordination taking place between Israeli and U.S. leadership at the highest levels. Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Central Command, is expected to arrive in Israel on Monday for consultations.

If authorization is granted by the White House, Israel is expected to broaden its target bank, potentially striking key national infrastructure and energy facilities throughout Iran. The objective would be to apply heavy economic pressure on the Iranian regime in an effort to force it to abandon its nuclear program.
