As tensions rise, Israel has signaled that the next phase of the war could be even more intense.

Israel’s defense minister warned that both Israeli forces and the United States military will significantly increase the scale and intensity of their strikes against Iranian targets starting Sunday.

“This week, the intensity of the strikes to be carried out by the IDF and the U.S. military against the Iranian regime and its infrastructure will rise significantly,” the minister said.

The statement suggests that the conflict is far from de-escalation and may be entering a more aggressive phase, with expanded operations targeting strategic assets inside Iran.
