Israeli officials now believe the war with Iran could be brought to a decisive close within days, as a series of strategic strikes continue to cripple Tehran’s military and nuclear infrastructure.
The assessment follows the launch of Operation Rising Lion—a sweeping Israeli campaign that has already hit over 100 targets, including missile sites, Revolutionary Guard command centers, and suspected nuclear facilities in Natanz and Esfahan. Intelligence sources say the operation has eliminated key figures in Iran’s nuclear chain and destabilized command structures across the region.
A senior Israeli intelligence official described the campaign’s momentum as “historic,” adding, “If this pace continues, we can finish it in days.”
Iran, for its part, has attempted to strike back with ballistic missiles and drone swarms. Several attacks penetrated Israeli airspace, killing three and injuring dozens. But Israeli air defenses held firm against the majority of threats, and officials warn that any further Iranian aggression will result in devastating consequences.
Defense Minister Israel Katz didn’t mince words: “If they continue, Tehran will burn.”
The United States has supported Israel’s right to self-defense, providing early intelligence and assistance in missile interception, though not participating in direct strikes. President Trump reaffirmed his backing of Israeli leadership while issuing a warning to Iran: “Do not test American resolve.”
Meanwhile, global markets are on edge. Oil prices have surged, gold has spiked, and European and Asian markets are bracing for volatility. The United Nations has called for immediate de-escalation, but few believe the conflict will cool before Israel completes what it sees as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to dismantle Iran’s threat.
Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to continue the campaign “for as long as it takes,” but insiders say the goal is not prolonged war—it’s to break Iran’s war machine so thoroughly that it cannot recover.
The message from Jerusalem is clear: this is not a warning shot. It’s the endgame.
