The US-Iran nuclear talks in Geneva yesterday were a “nothing burger,” a senior US official tells Channel 12. Another official says Iran has until the end of the month to agree to a package of significant concessions on its nuclear program.
US President Donald Trump is “very close” to giving orders for a major strike on Iran, US officials tell the outlet.
Meanwhile, Israel has carried out meetings at all echelons to prepare for the possibility that Trump gives a green light for a strike, Channel 12 reports. Israel also agrees with the negative assessment of the Geneva talks expressed by the US official.
“Timetables are growing shorter,” says a senior Israeli official, “and that is the case in terms of military preparedness. In the end, there is one man who will decide.”
Israel believes there is a high chance that Iran will strike Israel in the event of a US or joint US-Israeli attack on the country. The IDF Home Front Command and other emergency agencies were instructed to make all necessary preparations for such an outcome, reports Channel 12.
