Israel Said to Believe Trump Will Soon Escalate Iran Strikes
(Times of Israel) Nava Freiberg - After the U.S. refrained from striking Iran on Friday night for the first time in two weeks, Israeli leaders still estimate that President Trump would soon be compelled to step up military action. A senior Israeli official told Channel 12 that "the chances of reaching an agreement between the United States and Iran are virtually nonexistent," calling an eventual escalation in the conflict "inevitable." Meanwhile, Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi rebels fired on Saudi oil installations in two ports on the Red Sea coast on Saturday. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the group had struck sites belonging to Saudi state oil giant Aramco in Jizan and Yanbu. Video verified by Reuters showed a large column of smoke rising from the direction of the Aramco refinery in Jizan.
