Israel Considers Limited Strikes on Iran's Nuclear Facilities Amid Diplomatic Efforts

Despite U.S. reluctance, Israeli officials explore military options to impede Tehran's nuclear program
Israel is evaluating the possibility of conducting limited military operations targeting Iran's nuclear infrastructure, even as diplomatic negotiations between Tehran and Washington continue.

Israeli officials have expressed concerns over the effectiveness of ongoing talks and are considering actions aimed at delaying Iran's potential development of nuclear weapons.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has emphasized the necessity of ensuring that any diplomatic agreement results in the complete dismantlement of Iran's nuclear capabilities.

While initial proposals involved significant U.S. support, current considerations focus on smaller-scale operations, such as airstrikes and commando missions, that could be executed with minimal American involvement.

The United States has conveyed its preference for a diplomatic resolution.

President Donald Trump has indicated that while he is not opposed to military action in principle, he is not inclined to support immediate strikes, favoring negotiations to address concerns over Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Tehran has warned that any military aggression would provoke a strong response.

Iranian officials have stated that they are aware of Israeli plans and have vowed to retaliate if their nuclear facilities are attacked.

U.S. intelligence assessments suggest that Israel perceives a strategic window of opportunity, citing Iran's weakened air defenses and the diminished capabilities of its regional allies.

However, experts caution that even a well-executed strike might only temporarily hinder Iran's nuclear progress.

The situation remains fluid, with Israeli officials monitoring developments closely.

The potential for military action persists, contingent on the outcomes of diplomatic engagements and the perceived trajectory of Iran's nuclear program.
