Israel Awaits US Green Light for Iran War
Analysis based on 11 articles · First reported Apr 23, 2026 · Last updated Apr 23, 2026
The potential resumption of war between Israel and Iran, with the United States' involvement, could significantly destabilize the global economy, particularly impacting energy markets due to threats to Iran's infrastructure. Ongoing conflicts involving Israel, Iran, and Lebanon, along with the actions of Hezbollah, create uncertainty and risk for regional and international trade and investment.
Israel's Defense Minister, Israel Katz, announced that Israel is prepared to resume war against Iran and is awaiting a 'green light' from the United States to destroy Iran's energy and economic infrastructure, aiming to return Iran to the 'Stone Age'. This follows an earlier US-Israel attack on February 28 that killed Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei. US President Donald Trump has extended a ceasefire with Iran to allow for talks, but negotiations remain uncertain. The broader Middle East conflict has already caused thousands of deaths, mainly in Iran and Lebanon, and continues to destabilize the global economy. Meanwhile, Israel and Lebanon are engaged in direct talks in Washington, mediated by the United States, to discuss extending a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, which began firing rockets into Israel on March 2.
