Israel has announced a detailed plan to extend its military campaign in Iran by at least three more weeks, following intense airstrikes across the country. Israeli military spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani said on Monday that the army has a specific operational plan for the next three weeks and may extend it further. The campaign aims to cripple Iran’s ballistic missile infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and security systems to eliminate threats to Israel. Over 110,000 reserve troops have already been deployed.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Tehran has not proposed a ceasefire or exchanged messages with the United States. The joint U.S.-Israeli operation has entered its third week, with Iranian drone attacks temporarily halting operations at Dubai Airport and damaging a key oil facility in the UAE. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20 percent of global oil and gas supplies pass, has driven up oil prices and renewed inflation fears worldwide.

U.S. President Donald Trump has called for a multinational military coalition to reopen the vital waterway, warning that NATO’s future could be at risk if allies fail to support Washington’s efforts.
