Israel presents an intelligence file to Trump to convince him to launch a new attack on Iran

Israel is preparing to present a comprehensive intelligence file to US President Donald Trump during his upcoming meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the American state of Florida, with the aim of convincing him to take practical steps against Iran, including the possibility of launching a new attack, as reported by the Yisrael Hayom newspaper in a report published today, Sunday.

The Israeli newspaper indicates that Trump is hesitant to take decisive steps, and Netanyahu's meeting with him—wanted by the International Criminal Court—aims to define a joint roadmap and coordinate a radical solution to the Iranian problem.

According to the newspaper's sources, the intelligence file will focus on the renewal of Iran's nuclear program, the development of ballistic missiles, the activities of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and support and funding of terrorism through Tehran's arms in the region.

Tel Aviv—according to the Israeli newspaper—sees overthrowing the Iranian regime as the radical solution to end wars in the region.

The newspaper indicates that Israel is studying military and economic options in parallel with supporting the internal opposition to destabilize the regime in Tehran, amid economic deterioration in Iran and possible Western pressures to tighten sanctions.

The Israeli newspaper's revelation comes after it reported yesterday, Saturday, from Israeli and American sources that Netanyahu plans to brief Trump on plans for possible new strikes against Iran.

The sources said that Israeli officials' concern has increased regarding "Iran's expansion of its ballistic missile program, which was damaged by Israeli military strikes earlier this year," and they are preparing to brief the US president on options to attack it again.

The sources added that Israeli officials are also concerned about Iran restarting uranium enrichment sites that were hit by American strikes during the 12-day war in June last year.

The sources said that the Israeli Prime Minister will present Trump with options to join any new military operations or assist in them, according to the American channel.

However, two former Israeli officials said that Trump may be less enthusiastic about any new military action in Iran if tensions continue between American and Israeli officials regarding Netanyahu's approach to the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, which came into effect on October 10 last year and was violated by Israel several times.

This comes at a time when Tehran has expressed its desire to resume diplomatic talks with the United States regarding its nuclear program.

As part of what the United States called Operation "Midnight Hammer," the US military targeted Iranian nuclear facilities at dawn on June 22 with more than 100 aircraft, submarines, and seven B-2 bombers, days after continuous Israeli strikes on Iranian military facilities and targeting officials that began on the 13th of the same month, before the war ended on June 24.
