Mumbai, June 23: Amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, news reports going viral on social media are claiming that Israel is looking to end its war with Iran. The development comes hours after the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) said that Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck key command centres and assets belonging to Iran's internal security forces and the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Tehran. IDF also said that its Air Force was guided by precise intelligence from the IDF Intelligence Directorate. That said, it's essential to know if Tel Aviv is seeking to end its fight with Tehran.

Several reports surfacing online have claimed that Israel has sent a formal message to Iran stating that Tel Aviv seeks to "end the war" with Tehran. These reports are based on a report in The Wall Street Journal. The WSJ report cited Israeli and Arab officials and said that Tel Aviv is looking to wrap up the war with Tehran by capitalising on the US attack on three nuclear sites in Iran. It must be noted that early Sunday, June 22, the US targeted Iran's Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz nuclear sites by inserting itself into the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. Did Iran Shoot Down US B-2 Stealth Bomber?

WSJ: Israel Wants To End War With Iran

No Official Announcement Made by Israel or Iran

While the WSJ report claims Israel wants to end war with Iran, there has been no official confirmation about the same. Neither Israel nor Iran has issued an official statement confirming that Tel Aviv is indeed looking to end the war with Tehran. It must also be noted that, besides the Journal, no major outlets such as the BBC or Reuters have confirmed the development or reported that the Israel-Iran conflict will end soon. Also, there is no evidence to prove that Israel sent an official message to Iran to end the ongoing war.

Meanwhile, a senior Iranian official told CNN that the war with Israel could last two years. The official also said that Iran is prepared for that possibility.
