Recent US intelligence indicates that Israel is actively preparing for a potential strike against Iranian nuclear facilities. This development occurs amidst ongoing, yet strained, negotiations between the United States and Iran regarding Iran's nuclear program. The situation remains delicate, with the possibility of escalating regional conflict.
US officials familiar with the matter suggest that while no final decision has been made by Israeli leaders, the likelihood of a strike has increased in recent months. Disagreements exist within the US government regarding the probability of Israel proceeding with military action. The decision may hinge on Israel's assessment of the progress and terms of the US-Iran talks.
Indicators of potential Israeli preparations include intercepted communications and observed military movements, such as the repositioning of air munitions and completion of air exercises. However, some officials caution that these actions could also serve as pressure tactics to compel Iran to alter its nuclear program. The coming weeks are critical as the US and Iran navigate this sensitive period.
