Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet President Donald Trump on 29 December in Florida, where he is expected to present a package of military options regarding Iran, Israel’s public broadcaster KAN reported on Saturday.
According to KAN, citing sources who spoke to NBC News, Netanyahu will provide Trump with updated intelligence on Iran’s ballistic missile programme, which has become a growing focus for Israel alongside concerns over Tehran’s nuclear activities. The briefing will reportedly highlight Iran’s efforts to restore damaged missile production facilities and rehabilitate its air defence systems.
“The scenarios under discussion range from an Israeli unilateral strike, to obtaining limited U.S. backing, to carrying out a joint military operation — up to a direct U.S. move against targets inside Iran,” the broadcaster reported. Sources added that Israel estimates Iran could produce up to 3,000 ballistic missiles per month if current trends are left unchecked.
The meeting is also expected to cover Iran’s nuclear programme, including the rehabilitation of enrichment facilities, as well as Tehran-aligned groups’ funding and armament across the region. Former U.S. officials cited by KAN warned that any setbacks in implementing the Gaza ceasefire could influence Trump’s willingness to support new military measures against Iran.
Earlier this year, Israel conducted an operation against Tehran on 13 June, targeting military, nuclear and civilian sites, as well as senior commanders and nuclear scientists. Iran responded with missile and drone strikes, prompting the U.S. to bomb three Iranian nuclear sites. The 12-day conflict concluded under a U.S.-sponsored ceasefire that took effect on 24 June.
