Israel is reviewing military options for the possible issue in Iran, the Israeli newspaper reported Thursday, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government pushes for differences with the administration of the U.S. incoming Iranian nuclear policy.
U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed Netanyahu by scrapping the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and reintroducing sanctions lifted as a result of limits on possible actions, which could , the future of nuclear weapons.

Tehran responded by breaking many of these restrictions. President Joe Biden wants to revert to the deal if Tehran – which denies seeking the bomb – returns to a tight surrender.
Israel, feared by Iranian astronomy that it is a state that should not exist, is keeping an eye on the softer line, even though threats of U.S. military action by Trump have not prevented Iran’s nuclear movements. .
An article on the front page of Israel Hayom’s publication said the military is curing three options to “weaken Iran’s nuclear efforts or, if necessary, counter Iran’s attacks, which will be handed over to the government soon ”.

Israel did not call Hayom, no sources. But he went on to name Defense Minister Benny Gantz as saying: “Israel must have a choice of weapons on the table.”
Israel has long had plans to go against Iran. The article appeared designed to show that these were now being updated.
During the previous Democratic administration of Barack Obama, which supported diplomacy with Iran, Israel occasionally threatened obstructive airstrikes against Iran’s nuclear sites.

Some U.S. officials at the time were skeptical that Israel – whose advanced weapons include a well-known nuclear arsenal – could effectively hit Iran’s distant, scattered and defensive targets. good.
Israeli officials have expressed hope that Biden will continue Trump’s “most pressure” campaign on Tehran, including strict sanctions, until Iran’s nuclear program is dismantled.
But one of them, Finance Minister Israel Katz, acknowledged on Army Radio: “There are controversies (with Biden) over the outlook on Iran, and indeed that will be a challenge.”

Katz’s sound was inspired by Biden’s intention to include Iran’s ballistic missile program in any renegotiation of the nuclear deal. Biden’s election for U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan signaled openness, in an interview with CNN’s Jan 3, to consult with “regional players” – a potential draw for Israel.
Information Minister Eli Cohen told Ynet TV that the Netanyahu government was not yet in formal contact with the incoming administration. But asked if Israel was trying through informal channels to turn Biden on Iran, Cohen said: “Yes. There are efforts.”
