The United States has gathered new intelligence that Israel is actively preparing for a possible military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, even President Donald Trump’s administration continued his diplomatic efforts with Tehran, CNN described several American officials on Tuesday (local time).
While Israel has not taken the final decision, CNN, citing intelligent officials, has reported that the possibility of strike has increased significantly in recent months.
He said whether Israel moves forward, Tehran’s atomic ambitions will be largely on the results of the ongoing US-Iran talks.
A source quoted by CNN stated that “the possibility of an Israeli strike at the Iranian nuclear facility has increased significantly,” especially if the Washington deal fails to fully curb Iran’s uranium enrichment.
The US assessment is based on both interstate Israeli communication and visible military movements, including the completion of aerial sages and a major Israeli air exercise reported by CNN.
However, the authorities also warned that these steps may be part of a comprehensive Israeli attempt to pressurize Iran diplomatically, rather than indicating adjacent military action.
According to CNN, any such attack will mark a serious deviation from Trump’s current diplomacy and trigger widespread conflict in the already volatile Middle East. Since the outbreak of the Gaza War in 2023, the US has demanded to avoid such an increase.
President Trump has threatened military action when the negotiations with Iran fail, but are publicly committed to diplomacy in the short term.
According to CNN, in March, Trump sent a letter to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, giving Tehran a 60 -day time limit to reach a deal. This time limit has passed, and it has been over five weeks since the talks began.
Meanwhile, a senior Western diplomat told CNN that Trump recently indicated in a meeting, indicating that he would allow only a few more weeks to be successful before considering military options.
Meanwhile, Israel is navigating difficult options. According to CNN, Prime Minister Benjamin is under pressure on Netanyahu that he considers an American-Iran weak to stop the deal, which considers the country’s strategic alliance with Washington, without stress, without stress. (AI)
