Israel is planning to carry out a "significant" strike on Iran's nuclear facilities in 2025 and is counting on Washington's support. This was reported by the Wall Street Journal, citing US intelligence.

This conclusion was included in a report prepared in the last days of the administration of former US President Joe Biden. According to intelligence, Israel plans to seek help from the administration of the new US President Donald Trump.

"Because they consider Trump to be more likely to join the strikes than Biden," the report says.
US intelligence has prepared a second report, presented in the early days of Trump's presidency, which confirmed the previous conclusion.

US military officials have said Israel may need US military assistance and ammunition to strike Iran's "heavily fortified" nuclear facilities.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's administration has not responded to the report, and the Israeli military has declined to comment on the reports.

Trump's views on Iran

The US president met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week. On that day, Trump signed an executive order resuming the "maximum pressure" policy he has pursued against Iran since his first term. The strategy is aimed at reducing Tehran's oil revenues and preventing it from developing nuclear weapons.

Trump said he was not happy with the move and would prefer a ratified nuclear peace deal. He called claims that the US, together with Israel, is "trying to destroy Iran" "grossly exaggerated."

"I would like to make a non-nuclear deal with Iran. I would prefer that to bombing it," the US president said.

Before his inauguration, he said that war between the US and Iran was possible. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
