The United States and Israel are preparing for possible strikes against energy-related targets in Iran, according to sources cited in reports by CBS News and other outlets. The reports describe the planning as part of a broader escalation in the conflict, but provide limited public detail about the timing, scope or specific locations that could be involved.
The reported preparations come as the war is described as entering its sixth month and amid continuing uncertainty over whether the United States will launch additional attacks. Other coverage has focused on President Donald Trump considering or ordering fresh strikes and warning that further military action against Iran could follow.
Energy infrastructure is especially sensitive because attacks on such sites could affect fuel supplies, electricity generation and regional markets, while also raising the risk of wider retaliation. The reports do not establish that strikes have begun, and it remains unclear whether the alleged preparations will lead to an operation or how Iran and other countries in the region might respond.
The developments are being followed alongside other political and security news involving the Trump administration and the Middle East. Public information remains limited, with the accounts relying on unnamed sources and offering no confirmed operational details.
