Israel is ready to launch the operation in Iran, multiple sources tell News themezone

American officials have been told that Israel is completely ready to start an operation in Iran, several sources told News themezone.

The United States anticipates that Iran could retaliate in certain US sites in neighboring Iraq. This is part of the reason why the United States advised some Americans to leave the region early Wednesday. The State Department ordered the non -emergency government officials to go out to Iraq due to “high regional tensions”, and the Pentagon has authorized the members of the military family to voluntarily abandon places throughout the Middle East, a defense official told News themezone.

The envoy of the Middle East of President Trump, Steve Witkoff, is still planning to meet Iran for a sixth round of conversations about the country’s nuclear program in the next few days, two US officials said.

Mr. Trump spoke about Iran in an appearance at the Kennedy center on Wednesday, telling journalists that Americans were advised to leave the region “because it could be a dangerous place, and we will see what happens.” Trump also reiterated that the United States did not want to develop a nuclear weapon, saying: “We will not allow that.”

When asked in the White House, why the military personnel were allowed to voluntarily abandon the region, Mr. Trump said: “It will have to do.”

Meanwhile, Iran’s Minister of Defense, Aziz Nasirzadeh, told reporters on Wednesday that if nuclear conversations fail and that “a conflict is imposed on us,” the body of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard “will be directed to all US bases in the host countries.”

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Organization on Wednesday advised ships that are caution in the Persian Gulf, the Hormuz Strait and the Gulf of Oman, three key river paths for world oil trade, due to “an increase in tensions within the region that could lead to an escalation of military activity.”

Israeli officials and White House spokesmen declined to comment.

The Trump administration has sought treatment With Iran to limit the country’s nuclear program, such as International Boldistas Let’s say the country has continued enriching uranium to the level close to weapons. The conversations are delicate, and it is not clear how close the two parts of an agreement are: Trump has said that he will not accept any enrichment of uranium by Iran, but Iranian leaders have indicated that they will not accept those terms, the president said earlier this week.

For years, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been deeply skeptical of any agreement with Iran. The two countries have been Nemese since the 1979 Iran Revolution. Netanyahu’s office says that Israel has carried out “innumerable open and undercover operations” to hinder the growth of Iran’s nuclear program.

Last month, Trump said publicly that he had urged Netanyahu not to attack Iran while his administration pursues negotiations with the regime.

“I told him that this would be inappropriate to do right now because we are very close to a solution,” Trump said.

Iran’s nuclear program dates back to decades, although the country has insisted for a long time that the program is only intended for peaceful purposes.

In 2015, former President Barack Obama reached an agreement with Iran that limited the scope of the country’s uranium enrichment program, due to Netanyahu’s objections, who claimed that Iran is not reliable and had raped undercover the agreement. Trump left the agreement during his first term and increased the sanctions against Iran, while the country of the Middle East expanded its highly enriched uranium reserve.

In a report two weeks ago, the International Atomic Energy Agency estimated that Iran had enriched 408.6 kilograms of uranium up to 60% purity, which is very close to the enrichment level of 90% required to build a nuclear weapon. That is a significant leap since the existence of 274.8 kilograms that the United Nations Agency had estimated in February.

In Capitol Hill’s testimony on Wednesday early, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said: “There are many indications that they have been moving towards something that looked a lot like a nuclear weapon.”
