Israel has launched a military campaign against Iran's infrastructure within minutes of President Donald Trump's announcement that he would temporarily postpone strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure. This follows a period of tension between the two countries, with Trump calling for de-escalation. This is not the first time Israel has launched strikes while the United States was mediating peace talks. Despite this, Israel has continued its military ambitions in the region. The Israeli Defense Forces confirmed they struck several "Iranian terror regime headquarters" in Tehran and key military manufacturing facilities.
