U.S. Intel Suggests Israel May Target Iranian Nuclear Sites
The United States has gathered fresh intelligence suggesting that Israel may be laying the groundwork for potential military strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities, according to a CNN report citing multiple American officials with knowledge of the matter.
Though no final decision appears to have been made in Jerusalem, U.S. sources say the probability of a strike has surged in recent months. One official indicated that Israeli action could become more imminent if Washington finalizes a nuclear agreement with Tehran that fails to dismantle Iran’s uranium stockpile.
The intelligence reportedly stems from a mix of intercepted Israeli communications, recent military maneuvers, and both public and private comments from Israeli leaders. Notably, U.S. analysts have observed the relocation of air munitions and the conclusion of high-level air force exercises—signals that have raised red flags within the intelligence community.
Neither the White House National Security Council nor the Israeli Embassy in Washington has responded to media inquiries. The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office has also remained silent.

This potential escalation comes at a delicate moment, as U.S.-led diplomatic efforts to rein in Iran’s nuclear ambitions continue. On Tuesday, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei sharply dismissed American demands to curtail uranium enrichment, calling them “excessive and outrageous.” He also voiced doubts about the sincerity and prospects of the ongoing negotiations.
As diplomatic talks falter and military signals intensify, the prospect of Israeli intervention underscores growing global anxiety over Iran’s nuclear trajectory—and the potential for another flashpoint in the already volatile Middle East.
