Israel is preparing for at least a month of fighting with Iran, according to a senior military official, as the campaign moves into a new phase marked by deeper involvement from the United States. Defense officials said coordination between the two countries has been especially close, with operational sectors, targets and missions divided in what was described as excellent cooperation.

During the first week of the campaign, Israel carried out most of the offensive operations. However, a significant shift is expected as United States forces expand their role in the fighting, bringing what officials described as an enormous range of capabilities.

A senior official said the United States is not limiting its use of munitions and is deploying its resources at full capacity, signaling a potentially intensified phase of strikes in the weeks ahead.
