The United States and Israel are planning what would be one of the harshest bombing campaigns to date against energy infrastructure targets in Iran, multiple sources told CBS News, with strikes possible throughout the weekend.

A joint operation would mark Israel's return to combat operations which it had halted during the U.S.-brokered truce. Iran has not hit Israel since the memorandum of understanding fell apart and the U.S. restarted combat operations in early July.

The military strike plan came up during President Trump's cabinet meeting at Camp David on Friday, according to sources briefed later.

Some White House aides who focus on politics were strongly opposed, one of the sources said.
