Israel is reportedly more likely to attack Iran's nuclear sites under the incoming Trump administration, according to multiple senior defense sources and former intelligence officials. Amos Yadlin, former head of Israeli military intelligence, stated that an attack could demonstrate that 'America is leading again.' Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indicated that Iran's nuclear bomb program is damaged and may require further action, potentially with support from President-elect Trump. A senior Israeli security official emphasized that Iran has never been more vulnerable to an attack, describing the situation as both 'necessary' and 'possible.' Though Israel did not attack Iran's nuclear program on October 26, the likelihood of such an action has increased. Reports from Washington suggest that Trump's administration may play a crucial role in this potential conflict.
