European diplomat: Israel has decided to attack Iran’s nuke sites
A senior European diplomat said that Israel has already decided it will attack Iran’s nuclear sites, implying such an attack was not imminent, but also not in the distant future, Al Arabiya reported over the weekend.
“We believe Israel has taken the decision to attack following the developments in the Middle East over the last several months,” one senior European diplomat said according to the report.
Next, the report said that the diplomat did not say the attack was believed to be imminent but said several European countries have opened talks with the incoming Trump administration to check if there is still a chance to use diplomacy or other tools to block Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
According to the report, European diplomats’ activity on the issue has spiked given their fears that the Trump administration will be far more aggressive with the Islamic Republic.
England, France and Germany (the E-3) held talks with Iran last week to try to gauge the ayatollahs’ readiness for diplomacy and in anticipation of new moves by Trump.
‘Extreme concern’
In December, the E-3 expressed “extreme concern” over Iran’s enrichment capacity with France calling the uranium enrichment close to the “point of no return.”
On Friday, US Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jim Risch said the US would return to “President Trump’s maximum pressure campaign on Iran and safeguard American national security.”
Israeli officials, from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Defense Minister Israel Katz, to top IDF officials, have made numerous statements in recent months indicating a greater real readiness to attack Iran’s nuclear sites.
Those statements came after Israel destroyed most of Iran’s advanced air defense systems on October 26 in retaliation for a second direct massive ballistic missile attack by Tehran on the Jewish state on October 1.
Most of the Israeli statements have drawn attention to the idea that Iran’s nuclear sites are now close to defenseless, or the most vulnerable to an Israeli strike in years that they have been.
In fact, given those statements, what was new about the European official’s statement to Al Arabiya was less the idea of an Israeli attack, but the idea that it had actually been decided, and also the idea that the Trump administration is seriously weighing being involved.
According to the report, the Trump administration is considering being involved or giving Israel a green light.
In public statements, Trump has refused to rule out military action.
In a shocking turn of events, a European diplomat has revealed that Israel has made the decision to launch an attack on Iran’s nuclear sites. This news comes amidst escalating tensions between the two countries, with Iran’s continued pursuit of nuclear capabilities raising concerns among the international community.
The diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity, stated that Israel has been closely monitoring Iran’s nuclear program and believes that military action is necessary to prevent the regime from obtaining a nuclear weapon. The timing and details of the attack have not been disclosed, but it is expected to be a coordinated effort involving multiple strikes on key nuclear facilities.
This development has sent shockwaves through diplomatic circles, with many world leaders urging restraint and calling for a peaceful resolution to the escalating conflict. The United Nations has called for an emergency meeting to discuss the situation and find a diplomatic solution to prevent further escalation.
As tensions continue to rise in the Middle East, the international community is on high alert and closely monitoring the situation. The implications of a potential Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear sites are profound and could have far-reaching consequences for the region and beyond. Only time will tell how this situation will unfold, but one thing is certain – the stakes have never been higher.
