Israel is preparing for possible unilateral military action against Iran in the coming days. The US is withdrawing embassy staff from the region.
This was reported by Sky News, citing sources.
Israel’s plans have intensified as the United States negotiates with Iran for a diplomatic settlement of its nuclear program. However, Israel considers some provisions of the potential deal, in particular the permission to enrich uranium, unacceptable.
The Israeli attack has raised concerns in Washington. The US has ordered embassies in the region to prepare for possible threats. The United States has also begun evacuating non-critical personnel from the US embassy in Baghdad, while personnel in Bahrain and Kuwait are free to leave those countries.
The Trump administration has not yet provided official information about possible Israeli actions. However, the US president confirmed that the situation is becoming dangerous, and stressed: “They cannot have nuclear weapons. We will not allow that.”
It should be noted that representatives of the United States and Iran will hold a diplomatic meeting in the capital of Oman. They will discuss Iran’s response to the latest proposals regarding its nuclear program in exchange for easing sanctions.
Iran continues to insist that its nuclear program is exclusively peaceful and says that “US threats will not change the facts.”
By the way, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his country will probably be forced to refuse American military assistance .
It was previously reported that Israel is planning a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, contrary to the policy of Donald Trump, who seeks to conclude an agreement .
