US intel suggests Israel preparing possible strike on Iran nuclear sites

Washington is assessing fresh intelligence that points to Israel preparing for a possible attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, according to a report by CNN, which cited several US officials familiar with the matter.

While it's unclear whether Israeli leadership has made a final call, officials reportedly remain divided over whether a strike will actually happen.

CNN quoted one source saying the likelihood of such an operation “has gone up significantly in recent months”. That probability, the source added, could increase if the United States reaches a deal with Tehran that fails to fully eliminate Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile.
