Another report by The Washington Post said Israel may launch a preemptive attack on Iran’s nuclear program by mid 202.The findings are based on an early January report produced by the intelligence directorate of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Defence Intelligence Agency.The report warned that Israel is likely to attempt a strike on Iran’s Fordow and Natanz nuclear facilities in the first six months of 2025. The analysis highlighted the risks of further high-stakes military activity in the Middle East after the degradation of Iran’s capabilities over the past year.
