Israel is afraid of this warning by UN, gets ready to attack…, will Trump approve Netanyahu’s plan?
New Delhi: Tel Aviv: A meeting is taking place in Rome regarding the nuclear agreement between the United States and Iran. Meanwhile, Israel has not yet abandoned its plan to attack Iran’s nuclear sites. However, U.S. President Donald Trump has clearly told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the U.S. is currently not ready to support such a move. Meanwhile, the United Nations nuclear agency has issued a warning that has troubled Israel. This is why, despite the U.S. denial, Israel has not ruled out the possibility of an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities in the coming months.
Israeli officials have vowed to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Netanyahu has emphasized that any negotiation with Iran must result in the complete dismantling of its nuclear programme. Sources have said that in recent months, Israel has proposed several options to the Trump administration for attacking Iran’s facilities, some of which are set for deadlines at the end of spring and summer.
Sources have reported that these plans include references to airstrikes and commando operations. This could delay Tehran’s ability to weaponize its nuclear programme by a few months, a year, or even longer. The New York Times reported on Wednesday, April 16 that Trump told Netanyahu in a White House meeting earlier this month that Washington wants to prioritize diplomatic talks with Tehran and is not prepared to support an attack on the country’s nuclear facilities in the short term.
The head of the United Nations nuclear monitoring agency, Rafael Grossi, warned on Wednesday that Iran is ‘not far from’ a nuclear bomb. Western countries, including the United States, have long suspected that Iran is attempting to acquire nuclear weapons. However, Iran has consistently denied these allegations, insisting that its programme is for peaceful civilian purposes.
Grossi’s warning comes at a time when the U.S. and Iran are negotiating nuclear talks. In an interview published on Wednesday with the French newspaper Le Monde, Grossi said, “It’s like a puzzle. They have pieces, and one day they may put them together. There is still a path to reach that point. But they are not far from it, this has to be acknowledged.”
The United Nations has been tasked with overseeing Iran’s nuclear programme and compliance with the 2015 nuclear agreement, which collapsed three years later when the United States withdrew during President Donald Trump’s first term.
