Israel poised to launch operation on Iran

Israel is reportedly preparing to attack Iran, potentially escalating tensions in the Middle East. The U.S. has responded by withdrawing diplomats from Iraq and allowing military families to leave the region. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has urged President Trump to act while Iran is seen as vulnerable.

Trump previously dismissed a strike plan from Israel, wanting to negotiate a nuclear deal. However, he has expressed growing pessimism about the chances for a settlement. Iran's leadership has devised counterstrike plans involving missiles aimed at Israel.

U.S. officials believe Iran is nearing the capacity to develop nuclear weapons, increasing Israeli concerns. Analysts caution that any military action against Iran could provoke serious repercussions and risk U.S. interests in the region.
