Israel ready with new plan to attack Iran? First attack is expected at.., Netanyahu is planning to...
Iran-Israel war- File image Iran-Israel war: In a significant turn of events weeks after a ceasefire was declared between Iran and Israel after weeks of military conflict, media reports have suggested that Israel is preparing a fresh airstrike on Iran. Reports say that Iran continues to retain enriched uranium in its Isfahan Nuclear Facility, which may provoke Israel and US to attack Iran. Here are all the details you need to know about the nuclear facility of Iran and why Israel may attack it. Why Israel may attack Iran again? For a background, the US attacked three important nuclear sites in Iran during Israel's Operation Midnight Hammer mission, aimed at destroying the nuclear capabilities of Iran. However, intelligence agencies of these countries have reported stated that Iran still retains enriched uranium in its Isfahan Nuclear Facility. Where will Netanyahu's Israel attack Iran? Therefore, reports suggest that Israel under the leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu and the support of US President Donald Trump may plan a next wave of attack at Iran if it tries to use the Uranium reserves. Former Iranian official hints at possible assassination attempt on Trump In a development that has shocked the world, Mohammad-Javad Larijani, a former senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, hinted at an assassination attempt on US President Donald Trump, implying that he could face a drone attack while sunbathing at his mansion in the US state of Florida. 'Trump has done something so that he can no longer sunbathe in Mar-a-Lago. As he lies there with his stomach to the sun, a small drone might hit him in the navel. It's very simple,' media outlet Iran International quoted Larijani as saying during an interview with Iranian TV, which got widely circulated on social media. As per a report by news agency ANI, the threat came weeks after Trump declared a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, ending the 12-day escalating conflict that began with Israel's Operation Rising Lion on June 13, which targeted key Iranian military and nuclear assets.
