Tensions between Washington and Tehran have deepened sharply, with Israeli officials now warning that a military confrontation with Iran appears increasingly likely. As diplomatic efforts falter, Israel is preparing for the possibility of joining the United States in military action against the Islamic Republic, according to multiple officials cited by Reuters.
Sources told Reuters that Iran’s Gulf neighbours, along with Israel, view the standoff between Tehran and Washington as having reached an impasse. Two Israeli officials said they believe the gaps between the two sides are “unbridgeable” and that the conflict could "spin out of control and destablise the Middle East". While no final decision has been taken, Israel’s government is reportedly making preparations for potential joint operations with the United States should talks collapse.
