Israel issued a bleak warning to the United States recently, highlighting that Iran is on the verge of becoming a nuclear threshold state, meaning it could begin producing atomic weapons, Kan 11 News reported on Sunday.

Despite the lull in the talks that have taken place over several rounds in Vienna regarding Iran's nuclear program, it does not mean, however, that Tehran's nuclear program is static.

Indeed, several senior Israeli officials, including Foreign Minister Yair Lapid and Defense Minister Benny Gantz relayed the message of the Jewish state's concern to their US counterparts Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett supposedly said in internal meetings that Iran is in fact accelerating its actions on the nuclear front, Israel National News reported.

"Something needs to happen regarding the negotiations with Iran. This 'limbo' cannot continue a time when Iran is advancing rapidly to the point where it is a threshold state," a senior diplomat said.

The Islamic republic took the view in 2018 that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was void after former President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the deal, claiming that Iran was in breach of the agreed-upon nuclear thresholds and worries over its ballistic missile program.

Israel has consistently warned the United States and the international community about Iran's atomic ambitions, including Israel Defense Force (IDF) Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kohavi's recent Washington trip to brief US officials, where he torched the plan to return the nuclear deal.
