ISRAEL – Israel is planning attacks on Iran, with Netanyahu’s upcoming meeting with Donald Trump on De. 29, aimed at presenting military package options for dealing with Iran.
Netanyahu will present Trump with updated intelligence information on developments of Iran’s ballistic missile program, with an increasing Israeli focus on the file compared to the nuclear program, amid the growing Iranian threat and Tehran’s efforts to rebuild its missile and air defense capabilities.
“Tel Aviv claims Iran is accelerating the rehabilitation of production facilities damaged in previous attacks, while simultaneously working to restore its air defense systems,” a source said.
The scenarios under discussion range from an Israeli unilateral strike, to obtaining limited US backing, to carrying out a joint military operation – up to a direct US move against targets inside Iran.
Israel believes that Iran’s renewed production of ballistic missiles could increase to 3,000 per month if left unchecked.
The meeting is also expected to address Iran’s nuclear program, particularly the rehabilitation of enrichment facilities, as well as issues related to funding and arming Tehran-aligned groups in the region.
Former US officials have however warned that any disagreements or setbacks in implementing the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip could affect Trump’s willingness to provide full support for any new military action against Iran.
