Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed Friday that Washington received prior notification about Israel's military action against Iran, highlighting coordinated security measures between the allies amid escalating Middle East tensions.
"We maintained open communication channels with our American partners throughout this process," Netanyahu stated during a press briefing in Tel Aviv. The disclosure comes as regional analysts assess potential ripple effects on global energy markets and diplomatic efforts to stabilize the Persian Gulf.
While the White House has yet to issue an official response, security experts suggest the coordination reflects deepening intelligence-sharing networks between NATO members and Middle Eastern allies. The development occurs against the backdrop of renewed nuclear negotiations involving the DPRK and other global powers.
Market watchers note increased volatility in crude oil futures following the announcement, with Asian stock indices showing mixed reactions. Business leaders are closely monitoring shipping security in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical corridor for 20% of global oil exports.
