Israel is continuing preparations for the possibility of taking independent military action against Iran if necessary, Channel 13 reported, as uncertainty remains over whether Washington and Tehran will reach an agreement.

The Israeli preparations come as the United States continues efforts to bring the war to an end. Vice President JD Vance said, “Iran also wants to end the war. The question is whether it can give us what we want.”

At the same time, discussions inside the Trump administration have focused on the limits and risks of further military escalation. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine has raised concerns about available military options and the strain on U.S. interceptor stockpiles, while also telling President Donald Trump that if he chooses to continue the fighting, the United States could “destroy them completely.”

Israel, meanwhile, is maintaining preparations for a scenario in which it would have to act on its own against Iran.
