Security Official: ‘Ceasefire is Fragile, We’re Preparing to Resume Fighting’

A senior Israeli security official told Israeli media on Saturday evening, April 11, that the ceasefire agreement with Iran is “extremely fragile” and that the military establishment is “more pessimistic than optimistic” about its prospects. The assessment came as US-Iran negotiations were underway in Islamabad, Pakistan, with Israel effectively playing “second fiddle” while presenting Washington with a list of demands.

Israel’s demands include the removal of enriched uranium from Iran, dismantling of enrichment facilities at Fordow, the complete shutdown of Iran’s nuclear project, and separating the Lebanese front from the Iranian arena. The Americans are said to share Israel’s view on these demands, and there is little belief that Iran will compromise. As a result, preparations are underway to resume fighting even before the two-week ceasefire period ends.

The US military is reinforcing its presence in the Middle East and coordinating with Israel for a possible renewal of hostilities, including the deployment of fighter jets, additional munitions, and thousands of troops, such as the 82nd Division. An Israeli source warned that the next strike on Iran would be “severe and comprehensive,” targeting national infrastructure, energy facilities, and oil production.
