Despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s reluctance to support military action, Israel has not ruled out launching a limited strike on Iran's nuclear facilities in the coming months, according to Israeli and other sources familiar with the matter.
This decision comes amid rising concerns over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions and ongoing diplomatic efforts between the U.S. and Iran.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly stated that preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon is a top priority. However, following discussions with President Trump, it was made clear that the U.S. would not support an immediate military strike on Iran's nuclear sites. Trump expressed a preference for continuing diplomatic talks, emphasizing that he did not wish to rush into military action.
The Israeli government, undeterred, has explored a variety of military options, including a mix of airstrikes and commando operations. These options aim to delay Iran's nuclear program by several months or up to a year, according to sources familiar with the plans. While Israel is reportedly considering a smaller, less dependent strike, the operation would still likely require U.S. assistance, particularly in terms of intelligence sharing and potential defense support if Iran retaliates.
A senior Iranian official responded to the reports, warning that any attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities would provoke a "harsh and unwavering response." Tehran is aware of Israel's plans and views the military option as politically motivated, with Netanyahu potentially seeking conflict as a means to strengthen his position domestically.
As U.S. and Iranian negotiators prepare for a second round of talks in Rome, Israeli officials continue to push for a resolution that guarantees Iran will not be able to develop nuclear weapons. While Israel has expressed willingness to take unilateral action, the move carries significant risks, including the potential for escalating conflict in the region and further destabilizing diplomatic relations with the U.S.
