Israel plans to continue bombing military targets in Iran for several more days before wrapping up its campaign, Kan News reports. The goal: to end the war this week, if Tehran cooperates.
Israel’s push to end the war gained momentum after US bombers attacked Iran’s key nuclear sites last night, bringing Jerusalem closer to its goal of crippling Tehran’s nuclear program and shifting the conflict toward a possible exit.
Israeli officials told Ynet that Jerusalem is ready to stop the fighting if Iran halts its missile attacks and signals it wants to end the war. The sources confirmed that Israel wants to end the war this week, and that the next steps depend on Tehran.
However, if Iran wishes to pursue a war of attrition, they warned, the conflict could drag on and Israel would be forced to respond to ongoing missile attacks.
Israeli intelligence estimates Iran still has around 200 missile launchers and 1,500 missiles. But the IDF is pressing ahead with strikes to shrink Tehran’s arsenal. A missile warehouse was bombed today near the central Iranian city of Yazd, about 2,200 km from Israel, marking one of the deepest strikes of the war.
But after 10 days of intensive Israeli and US strikes, including attacks on key nuclear facilities, officials believe most core objectives have been met.
Despite the scale of the ongoing assault, Israeli sources emphasize that the campaign is not about regime change.
The message to Tehran is clear: the war can end now, or continue indefinitely at great cost.
