New York Times: Netanyahu Ordered Massive Strikes on Iran to Prevent Ceasefire

According to a New York Times report, Netanyahu has ordered massive strikes on Iran within the next 48 hours in order to prevent a possible ceasefire. This decision was made after obtaining a copy of a 15-point American plan to end the war, which is causing concern in Israel. Israel seeks to strike critical infrastructure in Iran, particularly in the military and arms industry. Israel's three main goals are to neutralize the threat from Iran's ballistic missiles, prevent the development of nuclear weapons, and create conditions for internal political developments in Tehran. The Israeli government is concerned that the American plan does not adequately guarantee the limitation of the Iranian nuclear program.
