WSJ: Israel is seeking to end the conflict with Iran as soon as possible

ChainCatcher news, according to The Wall Street Journal, officials say that Israel continues to strike at Iran's military infrastructure but is seeking to end the war with Iran as soon as possible. Meanwhile, International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Grossi stated that the U.S. attack on Iran's Fordow uranium enrichment facility is expected to cause "very significant damage."

One of the Iranian targets struck by Israel is a prison that holds political prisoners and regime opponents. Tehran's response to the U.S. attack on its nuclear facilities has revealed almost no clues. The clerical leaders of the Iranian regime face a dangerous choice: retaliating against the U.S. could lead to an escalation of war with two militarily stronger adversaries, or returning to nuclear negotiations, during which they may have to make concessions on nuclear enrichment and ballistic missile arsenals—two pillars of national sovereignty.

Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, in what appears to be his first comments since the U.S. attack, did not mention the U.S. on the X platform but focused on Israel. He stated that Israel has made a "serious mistake" and is "now being punished."
