Following a meeting in November, Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer reportedly concluded that U.S. President Donald Trump is likely to support or even initiate a military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities. This assessment, based on information from Axios and two unnamed sources, suggests that Trump may back an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) operation or order a U.S. strike. Dermer's impressions were shaped by discussions held at Mar-a-Lago, where the potential for military action against Iran's nuclear program was a focal point. Analysts note that Israel possesses various capabilities to target Iran's nuclear infrastructure if it chooses to proceed with such an operation.
