Israeli Writer Confirms Occupation is Nearing a Decision on Attacking Iran’s Nuclear Program

An Israeli writer, Yoav Limor, has emphasized that the Zionist occupation is approaching a decisive moment regarding a potential strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. This comes as Tehran continues to make concerning advancements in its nuclear program.

In an article published in the Hebrew newspaper Israel Hayom, Limor stated that the occupation views this as an opportune moment to carry out a military strike, taking advantage of Iran’s relative weakness and the close coordination with the new U.S. administration.

According to Limor, “the debate over striking Iran has persisted for years but peaked in the early 2010s, leading to the signing of the 2015 nuclear deal, which the U.S. later withdrew from in 2018.”

The writer pointed out that the Israeli occupation has intensified its military preparations since 2022, particularly under former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. These preparations have continued during the ongoing war and have even accelerated in certain areas due to long-range military operations, including airstrikes in Yemen and Iran, which have provided Israeli forces with additional combat experience in executing complex attacks.

Four Key Developments Driving Israel Toward a Decision

According to Limor, four major developments have prompted the occupation to reconsider an attack on Iran:

1️⃣ Weakening of the Iranian Axis – Limor claims that recent Israeli aggression has significantly reduced Hezbollah’s capabilities, which may limit its potential involvement in any future confrontation with Iran.

2️⃣ Direct Strikes on Iran – Recent Israeli attacks have specifically targeted Iran’s air defense systems, leaving its airspace more vulnerable. This would allow Israeli fighter jets greater freedom to operate within Iranian territory.

3️⃣ Possible Return of Donald Trump to Power – The prospect of Trump’s re-election could bolster Israel’s ability to strike Iran, as he has previously imposed harsh sanctions on Tehran and is unlikely to obstruct an Israeli offensive.

4️⃣ Iran’s Advancing Nuclear Capabilities – The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reported that Iran now possesses 274 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% purity—an amount theoretically sufficient to produce six nuclear warheads.

A Narrow Window for Decision-Making

The Zionist entity is closely monitoring these developments, believing that there is only a limited window to decide on launching a military assault against Iran’s nuclear sites.

The article concludes by suggesting that upcoming leadership changes within the Israeli military—with Eyal Zamir set to replace Herzi Halevi as the Chief of Staff—could influence the timing of any final decision regarding an attack on Iran.
