Israel is preparing for the possibility of receiving a green light from the United States to launch strikes against Iran’s ballistic missile system, according to Israel’s public broadcaster KAN.
KAN reported late Wednesday that Israeli planning is taking place amid growing speculation over whether U.S. President Donald Trump will authorise military action against Iran.
Assessments within Israel’s security establishment over the past 24 hours indicate a rising likelihood of a U.S. strike, Israeli daily Haaretz reported. The paper said that, despite Iran’s public statements following the latest round of negotiations in Geneva, significant differences remain between Washington and Tehran.
According to Haaretz, the most contentious issue is the U.S. demand that Iran abandon uranium enrichment on its own territory - a condition Tehran has repeatedly rejected.
The report said Israeli officials believe negotiations may have reached an impasse and expect that Trump could turn to a military option sooner than previously anticipated.
It added that Israel is not ruling out taking an active role in military action against Iran in the event of a U.S. attack.
The developments come amid close coordination between Washington and Tel Aviv in intelligence-sharing, military communications, information technology and air defence systems.
The latest round of talks on Iran’s nuclear programme was mediated by Oman in Geneva on Tuesday, following a previous session held in Muscat on 6 February.
Israeli preparations coincide with an increased U.S. military presence in the Middle East. American media outlets have reported that the Trump administration may be nearing a major confrontation with Iran, despite ongoing diplomatic efforts.
Social media accounts tracking aviation movements have reported that the United States has deployed a significant number of fighter jets, aerial refuelling aircraft and Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft to bases in Europe and the Middle East over the past 48 hours.
No official U.S. announcement has been made regarding any potential military action.
