Israel is reportedly considering striking Iran in the coming days — without US support — after high-stakes nuclear negotiations between Washington and Tehran appeared to have stalled.
The Jewish state is weighing whether to take military action even as the Trump administration awaits a formal response from Iran to its proposed framework for a nuclear deal, NBC reported Thursday, citing multiple sources.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Hossein Salami warned that any retaliation to any Israeli aggression would be “more forceful and destructive” than in past offensives.
The country’s President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed, too, that Iran would rebuild its nuclear facilities if they are eliminated by the Israelis.
“It is not the case that if they destroy our facilities with bombs, everything will be lost,” Pezeshkian told state media. “These capabilities exist in our minds, and therefore, whatever they do, we will rebuild again.”
