Israel is preparing for the possibility that President Donald Trump could order renewed military strikes against Iran within days, with Israeli officials holding discussions with Gulf countries as American and Israeli forces complete preparations for a potential joint military operation.

According to a report by Kan News on Sunday, Israeli officials increasingly believe Trump could authorize a new round of strikes against Iran in the coming days. The anticipated operation would involve both American and Israeli forces, with potential targets including Iranian nuclear facilities and energy infrastructure.

Over the weekend, senior IDF officers held discussions with senior officials from U.S. Central Command as part of ongoing military coordination between Washington and Jerusalem. The discussions focused on preparations for a possible resumption of hostilities.

Israel has also been conducting talks with Gulf countries, particularly those participating in the Abraham Accords, amid growing regional tensions. The discussions follow conversations Trump held with regional leaders last week concerning the possibility of renewed military action.

Israeli officials have expressed pessimism about the prospects of a diplomatic breakthrough in negotiations between Iran and Qatar, which have continued in recent days in an effort to prevent another military confrontation.

Meanwhile, Israel has completed preparations for both offensive and defensive operations. The preparations include strengthening air defense systems and positioning additional military equipment in anticipation of a possible Iranian response.

A major American military logistics operation has also been underway, with shipments of munitions and interceptor missiles arriving from the United States and Europe to Israel and other countries across the region.

Dozens of American military transport and aerial refueling aircraft have arrived in the region in recent days, including at Israel’s Ovda and Nevatim airbases, as Washington continues expanding its military capabilities ahead of a potential operation.

The IDF remains on heightened alert but is awaiting instructions from Israel’s political leadership before taking further action.

A senior Israeli official told Kan News that the ultimate decision rests with Trump, whose advisers remain divided over whether to resume military strikes against Iran.

The Trump administration is simultaneously pursuing diplomatic negotiations through three separate channels involving Russia, Qatar, and Pakistan, while facing pressure from Gulf countries to avoid another round of fighting.

A diplomatic source familiar with the negotiations said significant disagreements remain between the sides, although some progress has been made. The Iranian delegation remains in Doha, where discussions with mediators are continuing.
