The Israeli government and military leadership have held a series of meetings in light of a potential military scenario involving U.S. strikes on Iran. This was reported by The Times of Israel, citing sources.

According to the publication, preparations intensified after negotiations between the U.S. and Iran on the nuclear program, which American officials assess as having little prospect.

One senior U.S. representative called the February 17 meeting "pointless," while another stated that Tehran has until the end of the month to agree to a deal and receive a package of significant concessions.

American sources also claim that U.S. President Donald Trump is allegedly close to making a decision on a large-scale military operation against Iran.

Against this backdrop, Israeli authorities conducted consultations at all levels. According to official estimates, the likelihood of a U.S. military operation remains high, but it is still unknown whether a potential strike would be joint or carried out exclusively by American forces.

"Timelines are shortening, and this concerns military readiness. Ultimately, the decision will be made by one person," said an unnamed senior Israeli official, hinting at the U.S. president.
