Previously, Washington Insider reported that Israel is awaiting U.S. approval to launch strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure. The U.S. and Israel have compiled a list of targets within Iran aimed at weakening the country's economy, ensuring that any recovery from this war will be long and painful. On Sunday, Trump stated in an interview that the U.S. is ready to strike all of Iran's bridges and power plants, causing sufficient damage "that even if their country remains, reconstruction would take 20 years—if they're lucky." In response, Iran has also issued a firm public statement. Its military spokesperson said that if Trump truly attacks Iran's key power facilities, "our subsequent phases of offensive and retaliatory actions will be carried out with greater intensity and broader scope." The tension escalated further when Israel conducted airstrikes overnight, killing another high-ranking Iranian official—Majid Khademi, head of the Intelligence Department of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps—and targeting a major petrochemical complex. A top-tier Iranian university linked to the military was also attacked. According to the Associated Press, Israeli and American strikes on Monday resulted in more than 25 deaths in Iran.
