ISRAEL is reportedly “fully ready” to launch a military strike against Iran within days – and without the backing of the United States.

It comes amid the Trump administration’s efforts to secure a deal with Tehran aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear programme.

Reports suggest that Donald Trump is in advanced discussions with Iran regarding a preliminary agreement that may involve uranium enrichment clauses, which Israel opposes.

According to a Capitol Hill aide and other sources, Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration is “completely prepared” to take independent action as chances to impact US-Iran talks wane.

An attack under these circumstances could lead to a significant breach in US-Israel collaboration and might spark a wider conflict in the already unstable area.

One senior diplomat in the Middle East told The Washington Post: “We are watching and worried.

“We think it’s more serious than any other time in the past.”

In anticipation of potential retaliation by Iran, the US has moved to scale back its presence in the Middle East.

The State Department has ordered the departure of non-essential staff from its embassy in Baghdad and authorised voluntary departures of personnel and military dependents from Bahrain and Kuwait.

White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said: “The State Department regularly reviews American personnel abroad, and this decision was made as a result of a recent review.”

President Trump, speaking to reporters on Wednesday, confirmed the move: “They are being moved out because it could be a dangerous place and we’ll see what happens.”

He reiterated the administration’s red line: “They can’t have a nuclear weapon, very simple, they can’t have a nuclear weapon, we’re not going to allow that.”

Posting a video of US military in action, Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday: “I am more confident than ever that in the days ahead and every generation to come, the U.S. Army will heap glory upon glory.

“You will summon inexhaustible courage. You will protect every inch of U.S. soil—and you will defend America to the ends of the earth!”

The heightened alert stems not just from fears of Iranian retaliation, but also from growing intelligence assessments that Israel may be preparing for a direct strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities – bypassing Washington’s diplomat track.

Iran, meanwhile, has warned of severe consequences if it is attacked.

Defence Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh said Iran would respond by targeting American bases in the region.

Iran’s mission to the UN added: “Threats of ‘overwhelming force’ won’t change facts: Iran is not seeking a nuclear weapon and U.S. militarism only fuels instability.”

US negotiator Steve Witkoff is still set to meet Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Muscat, Oman on Sunday for what would be the sixth round of nuclear talks.

But sources caution that the meeting may not go ahead if the situation worsens.

A senior Iranian official told Reuters: “Any military action against Iran, whether by the US or Israel, will have serious consequences.”

Netanyahu will obliterate Iran’s nuke empire on his own terms

by Katie Davis, Chief Foreign Reporter (Digital), in Paris

BENJAMIN Netanyahu is plotting to bomb Iran as it is his “main goal for his legacy” to destroy its nuclear scheme, his ex-advisor said.

But government insiders in Europe have echoed Donald Trump‘s warning not to undermine talks with Tehran and strike without US backing.

Israeli PM Netanyahu has been making preparations behind the scenes to swiftly blitz Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities as he deems the country “enemy number one”.

Nadav Shtrauchler, a former adviser to Netanyahu, told The Sun how the PM could give the green light to bomb Iran to cement his legacy.

The strategic adviser said: “In his eyes, two things are highly important. One of them is Iran. The second is Saudi Arabia and the following of the Abraham Accords.

“Number one is Iran before everything else.

“He sees that as a threat as an immediate threat to the state and after the last two big strikes from Iran, people understood that next time it could be different material on those weapons.

“His main goal is to stop Iran and he needs to put every pressure he can.

“Of course, you want to do it with Trump and with the American administration – but I think he would not avoid attacking there.

“This is his main number one goal in this war.”
