According to the Wall Street Journal, strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities are being seriously considered within Donald Trump’s transition team. While there is no evidence that Tehran is trying to build a nuclear weapon, Washington and Tel Aviv are threatening to attack Iran’s nuclear energy infrastructure.

“The option of a military strike against nuclear facilities is now under more serious review by some members of his transition team,” The Wall Street Journal reported Friday. “Iran’s weakened regional position and recent revelations about Tehran’s burgeoning nuclear work have heightened sensitive internal discussions, transition officials said.”

Tel Aviv is engaged in intense discussions with Trump’s representatives on the subject. “The Israel Defense Forces believes that, with the weakening of Iran’s proxy groups in the Middle East and the dramatic fall of Bashar Assad’s regime in Syria, there is an opportunity to strike Iranian nuclear facilities,” The Times of Israel reported Thursday. “Therefore, the Israeli Air Force has continued to increase its readiness and preparations for such possible strikes in Iran.”

According to the Wall Street Journal, President-elect Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently discussed the possibility of attacking Iran. “Trump has told Netanyahu in recent phone calls that he is concerned about an Iranian nuclear war on his watch,” the report continues. “The president-elect wants plans that stop a new war, especially one that could draw in the U.S. military.”

The sources explained that the incoming Trump administration is considering two options: the first is to strengthen the American military presence in the Middle East while providing Israel with the ability to destroy Iranian nuclear sites without US assistance, and the other option calls for US threats to force Tehran to make concessions at the negotiating table.

Whatever option Trump chooses, he is also expected to increase sanctions on Iran because he believes he must cripple Tehran economically.

While US intelligence agencies, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Pentagon and Tehran say Iran is not developing nuclear weapons, the incoming Trump administration and Tel Aviv say they are concerned about the Islamic Republic getting a nuclear weapon. In addition, Trump believes Tehran was behind the assassination attempt on him.

But Trump and Netanyahu may see Iran as weak, given the ouster of Bashar al-Assad in Syria and Hezbollah’s concessions in the truce with Israel. Washington and Tel Aviv may, after recent events, try to attack Iran, believing Tehran is vulnerable.

“If you’re going to do something to neutralize a nuclear weapons program, this is it,” Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (a powerful front for the Israel lobby), told the Wall Street Journal.

Netanyahu posted a video on Twitter in English on Wednesday telling the Iranian people that regime change could come much sooner than many think.
