Israel is getting ready to launch a massive military attack on Iran. The goal is to hit Iran’s nuclear sites. Two Israeli sources spoke to Axios, a U.S. news site, on May 22. They said the plan is serious and may last for a whole week.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is waiting. He wants to see if the talks between the U.S. and Iran fail. If the talks break down, Israel may strike very soon.
This will not be a short strike. It will be a full military action on Iran. It may go on for at least seven days. The plan is big and complex. It could bring danger to both Israel and the Middle East.
In the past, Israel hoped the U.S. and Iran could make a deal. Now, Israeli leaders think the deal will not happen. One source said if the talks fail, Israel must act fast. But the source did not say why the action must be fast.
CNN also shared the same news. Their report said U.S. spy groups have seen Israel getting ready. Israel has been doing many drills and planning a lot. This is how the U.S. found out. Their military can tell what Israel plans to do.
One of the sources said something more. He said Netanyahu is waiting for more than just the talks to fail. He is also waiting for Donald Trump to get angry. If Trump gets mad, he may support the military attack on Iran. He may give a “green light” for Israel to hit Iran.
Many other countries are now worried. They fear a strike on Iran’s nuclear plants could spread radiation. This would be harmful to people in the region and far beyond.
The problem between the U.S. and Iran is not new. It has gone on for many years. The U.S. wants Iran to stop making enriched uranium. The U.S. says it could help make nuclear bombs. Iran says its program is peaceful. But it will not stop its plans. Iran says it will grow its uranium supply with or without a deal.
In 2015, the U.S. and Iran had a deal. It was called the JCPOA. It was meant to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons. But in 2018, the U.S. left the deal. President Trump made that choice. Since then, Iran has stepped up its nuclear work. The current U.S. leaders want to fix the deal. But talks have not worked.
Now Israel thinks there is no hope. Netanyahu wants to strike before Iran goes too far. If that happens, a war could start in the Middle East.
World leaders are calling for peace. They say both sides should return to talks. They do not want more war. But time may be running out.
If Israel does attack, it will be a major event. It could change the whole region. Many fear it could lead to more fighting.
The world is watching. If talks fail, things may move fast. War is never simple. Once it starts, it is hard to stop.
