Israel is expected to strike Iran's nuclear facilities, according to senior officials in the US intelligence community, as reported Thursday morning by The Washington Post.
US intelligence sources who spoke with the newspaper claimed that Israel is likely to target Iran's nuclear program sites in Fordow or Natanz. They added that an Israeli strike could set back Iran's progress toward developing nuclear weapons by weeks or even months.
Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that in the final days of the Biden administration, US intelligence assessed that Israel intends to attack Iran within the coming year. Officials believe there is a possibility of persuading the incoming Trump administration to join the operation.
US military officials estimate that an Israeli strike on Iran's fortified nuclear sites would require American military assistance and munitions due to the complexity of the mission.
