Israel planned to strike at the nuclear facilities of Iran in May of this year.
However, this attack was canceled by the President of the United States Donald Trump.
The American leader made the corresponding decision after the internal debate. For several months, disputes were associated with whether to continue diplomacy or support Israel in his attempts to prevent the creation of Iran’s nuclear weapons, while Tehran was weakened in a military and economic plan. This was reported by the New York Times.
Some White House advisers doubted that the attack on Iran would be able to destroy the country’s nuclear ambitions and avoid more war. It was decided to refrain from armed aggression, because Tehran agreed to agree.
Unexpected sources claim that the Israeli army defended a plan and was ready to strike at Iranian nuclear facilities in May. The Israelis hoped that the United States would approve these intentions. Nevertheless, Washington opposed this, because the attack will require state assistance not only to protect Israel from Iran’s military response and make the Americans the key to influence.
Nyt writes that the White House currently prefers diplomacy, not military operations. Washington has already begun negotiations with Tehran, giving only a few months to complete the new nuclear agreement.
Recall that in March 2025, US President Donald Trump demanded Iran to start direct negotiations to complete the country’s nuclear program. He warned that in case of refusal, Iran would be bombed and secondary sanctions.
Iran’s armed forces were already placed in a state of increased readiness against the background of voltage with the United States. Iran also warned his neighboring countries about any assistance to Americans, including the use of their airspace or territory by military American, will be considered a “hostile act”.
