US, Israel Consider Military Action as Iran Talks Stall: Report

The United States and Israel are weighing possible military options as tensions with Iran intensify, according to Israeli and US officials.

US sources suggested Washington might need more time before taking action, The Caspian Post reports, citing Axios.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) indicated that strikes could still be weeks away, though some advisers warn that the timeline could be shorter.

“The boss is getting fed up. Some people around him warn him against going to war with Iran, but I think there is 90% chance we see kinetic action in the next few weeks,” one adviser to Donald Trump said.

US officials noted after talks on February 17 that Iran must return with a detailed proposal within two weeks. Last June 19, the White House had set a similar two-week window for Trump to decide between continuing negotiations or taking military action; three days later, he launched Operation Midnight Hammer.

Despite ongoing discussions, there is currently no sign of an imminent diplomatic breakthrough with Tehran. Analysts and officials caution that evidence of potential military action is growing, signaling that conflict could be on the horizon.
