The United States has gathered new news that suggests that Israel is actively preparing for a potential military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, although President Donald Trump’s administration continues her diplomatic efforts with Tehran, CNN reported and quoted more American officials on Tuesday.
Although Israel does not seem to have made a final decision, the probability of strike has increased significantly in recent months, CNN report said, quoting intelligence officials.
They noted that whether Israel would move forward would largely depend on the outcome of the ongoing US-Iran negotiations on the nuclear ambitions of Tehran.
Why would Israel attack Iranian nuclear places?
The source quoted CNN said “the chances of Israeli strikes on the Iranian nuclear facility have increased significantly”, especially if the Washington agreement cannot fully limit the Iranian enrichment of uranium.
The report also said that US evaluation is based on the captured Israeli communication and visible military movements, including the relocation of air ammunition and the completion of a large Israeli air exercise.

However, officials also warned that these steps could be part of a wider Israeli effort to diplomatic pressure on Iran, rather than a sign of immediate military action.
What would that mean for the US?
Attack, such as this, could mean serious divergence from the current strategy of Trump’s diplomacy and the risks that cause a wider conflict across the non -violent Middle East, CNN said. Since the outbreak of the Gaza War in 2023, the US has been trying to avoid such escalation.
President Trump threatened a military event if interviews with Iran failed, but in the short term she publicly committed himself to diplomacy.
According to CNN, Trump sent a letter to the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who gave Tehran a 60 -day term to reach an agreement. This term has passed and it took more than five weeks from the beginning of the interviews.
Meanwhile, the Senior Western diplomat said CNN that Trump had signaled at a recent meeting that he would allow only a few weeks to succeed before he would consider military possibilities.

Meanwhile, Israel is undergoing difficult elections. According to CNN, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under pressure to prevent the US-Iranian agreement, which he considers weak without stressing the country’s strategic alliance with Washington.
US-RIAN NUCLEAR DEAL
Trump has repeatedly threatened a military action against Iran if Tehran does not reach the agreement to limit his atomic work in exchange for relief from the cripple of US sanctions. Iran says that his program is peaceful, but is in the long term a suspicion that he could be armed.
The success of the nuclear agreement in the USA-Iran depends on the navigation of complex diplomatic challenges and ensuring compliance with regulations from both sides. Iran insists on the continued enrichment of uranium, which remains for Washington and its allies looking for robust verification mechanisms to prevent the development of nuclear weapons.
In addition, internal political divisions in Iran and skepticism at the US Congress represent other obstacles.
