There is a growing conviction in the Israeli security establishment that Israel can attack and destroy the Iranian nuclear program facilities on its own, if it is trained and equipped with the necessary weapons. This is linked to the capabilities and training that the Israeli intelligence services and air force have accumulated during the war on Gaza and Lebanon and raids in Iran and Yemen in the past year and a half, according to a report published by the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper today, Friday.

Israel announced that 2025 will be the "Year of Iran," considering that "after the destruction of the axis of resistance, the elimination of Hezbollah's arsenal, and the destruction of most of Iran's air defenses, there will be no better opportunity," according to the newspaper.

The Israeli political level asked the army to prepare and make plans for an attack against the Iranian nuclear program, which could be carried out quickly and with tremendous force, "and not through a war that lasts for weeks."

The newspaper pointed out that there are two conditions for such an Israeli attack. The first condition is that the United States provide equipment and capabilities that it has refrained from providing until now. The second condition is that “the Americans have a plan for the day after the attack in Iran,” so that Iran stops developing its nuclear program, “and realizes that there is no point in responding and attacking Israel or responding with an attack in the Gulf and igniting the entire region.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fears that US President-elect Donald Trump will dictate to Israel to stop the war on Gaza and a new nuclear deal with Iran, according to the newspaper.

The newspaper pointed out that "Israeli self-confidence is somewhat intoxicating," and pointed out that what was not revealed after the Israeli operation to blow up the pagers in the possession of Hezbollah members, is that Israel detected that Iran transferred to Hezbollah machines that could have detected this Israeli operation, and that the Israeli Air Force bombed the warehouse of these machines, but the media at the time spoke of bombing a Weapons will be deposited, “so the deep danger is euphoria and overconfidence, in the context of Iran as well.”

Israel would prefer the United States to launch a large-scale attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, “but those who have spoken to President-elect Trump remain skeptical about his intentions and determination to act against the nuclear facilities. All those who have spoken to him have no doubt that he will provide Israel with the ammunition and equipment necessary to launch a successful attack.”
