Israel has decided to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, according to a report in Saudi news site al-Arabiya.
Citing a "European official" the news site said, “Israel has made the decision to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities." The official reportedly told al-Arabiya that the attack could come in the coming months, based on "developments in the Middle East over the last several months."
The official did not say whether the United States, under newly inaugurated President Donald Trump, is expected to play a role in the strikes, either actively or by providing the specialized munitions needed to carry out such an attack.
However, the official revealed that several European countries had already begun talks with the incoming Trump administration, in an attempt to explore diplomatic options to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons in lieu of a military strike.
Last week, Iranian Vice President Mohammad Javad Zarif accused Israel of carrying out an attempted attack against his country, claiming that Israel infiltrated the supply chain for procuring the centrifuges necessary to refine uranium, placing explosives within the devices.
