Israel's military chief says 'accelerating' Iran strike plans

8. interesting. Biden met with Israel's prime minister just a couple of weeks ago.

Their meeting, the first one bewteen the two leaders, was focused, in large part, on Iran:

Bennett got everything he wanted from Biden in terms of public pledges, first and foremost the president’s declared “commitment to ensure Iran never develops a nuclear weapon.” Bennett’s people breathed sighs of relief and exchanged smiles, and then heard Biden add that while the United States would prioritize diplomacy to block Iran’s nuclear program, “If diplomacy fails, we’re ready to turn to other options.”

When Bennett’s turn came to address reporters, he thanked Biden for his promises and reiterated them to ensure that Tehran was paying attention, too.

Looks to me like Bennett is doing Biden's (and Saudi Arabia's) bidding to pressure Iran into negotiations with the US.

On edit: It is very uncharacteristic of Israel to advertise their military plans in the news media, unless their goal is to apply political pressure rather than take military action.
