Israel preparing to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, even as Trump tries to negotiate deal: report

Israel is preparing for a possible strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, despite the Trump administration’s efforts to forge a diplomatic deal with Tehran, according to new US intelligence.

Intercepted messages between Israeli officials as well as observations of Israeli military movements have led the US to believe such an attack could be imminent, officials in US intelligence told CNN.

“The chance of an Israeli strike on an Iranian nuclear facility has gone up significantly in recent months. And the prospect of a Trump-negotiated US-Iran deal that doesn’t remove all of Iran’s uranium makes the chance of a strike more likely,” a source familiar with US intelligence said.

Air munitions movements and the completion of air exercises by Israel’s forces are among the signs of a possible strike on the Islamic Republic, CNN reports.
