Israeli intelligence assesses US-Iran talks may soon fail - Walla News

Israeli strategic affairs minister Ron Dermer and Mossad chief David Barnea will meet White House envoy Steve Witkoff in Rome on Friday to discuss Iran’s nuclear program, Walla News reported citing two senior Israeli officials.

In recent days the assessment in the Israeli intelligence community regarding the nuclear talks has changed from thinking that an agreement is close, to the assessment that the talks could enter a crisis and even collapse in the near future, according to the report citing two Israeli sources.

The sources indicated that Israel is preparing to carry out a swift attack on Iran's nuclear facilities if the nuclear talks collapse in the coming weeks, the report added.

The Israeli military estimates that the window of opportunity for a successful attack on Iran may close soon, and therefore Israel will have to act quickly, the report said citing an Israeli source.
