Israel has reportedly drawn up plans to attack Iran.

According to the Telegraph, the plans were signed off at a war cabinet meeting this afternoon, though it is not clear whether Israel intends to immediately implement them. Its western allies have cautioned Israel to show restraint.

“Over the last two hours, we approved operational plans for both offensive and defensive action,” Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a statement. Rear Adm. Hagari said: “We will continue to protect the State of Israel, and together with our partners, we will continue to build a more secure and stable future for the entire Middle East,” he added.

While some members of Israel’s war cabinet had proposed an immediate retaliatory strike, this was called off due to pressure from US president Joe Biden, according to the New York Times.
