Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate Expands Iran Target Bank After Talks Collapse
Following the collapse of US-Iran talks in Pakistan, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir ordered heightened military readiness, with the Military Intelligence Directorate (Aman) accelerating the pace of building its target bank in Iran, focusing on military objectives including missile systems, launchers, and supporting infrastructure. The Israeli Air Force is finalizing updated strike plans in coordination with the Operations Directorate, including broad attack packages integrating long-range and precision capabilities. Israeli officials described coordination between Israeli and U.S. intelligence agencies as maximal at both the leadership and operational levels.
Analysis
Aman's accelerated target bank development following the Islamabad collapse signals Israeli intelligence is preparing for a scenario in which the April 22 ceasefire expiration leads to resumed hostilities. The public disclosure of intelligence preparation, naming missile systems, launchers, and supporting infrastructure as focus areas, is itself a signaling tool, intended to shape Iranian calculus. The described maximal U.S.-Israeli intelligence coordination leaves unclear whether Washington has endorsed or merely been informed of the expanded targeting.
