[US intelligence indicates Israel is preparing to attack Iran's nuclear facilities] According to CNN, multiple US officials have stated that the US has obtained new intelligence indicating that Israel is preparing to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. US officials have said that such a strike would be a blatant break with President Trump and could also trigger a broader regional conflict in the Middle East—a conflict that the US has been trying to avoid since tensions rose following the 2023 Gaza war. Officials have warned that it is unclear whether Israeli leaders have made a final decision, and in fact, there are serious divisions within the US government over the likelihood of Israel ultimately taking action. Whether and how Israel strikes Iran may depend on its perception of US nuclear negotiations with Iran.
