Israel is reportedly planning to focus its retaliatory strikes on Iranian military and energy infrastructure rather than targeting nuclear facilities, according to U.S. officials. This decision follows Iran's early October missile barrage on October 1. U.S. officials have indicated that Israel has narrowed down its list of potential targets, which now includes military bases, intelligence sites, and energy facilities. The shift in strategy aims to avoid escalating the conflict further. Meetings between Israeli and U.S. officials have been ongoing to finalize the specifics of Israel's response, NBC reported.
