Iran: Strategic developments in Tehran
Israel warned the US about the possible use of chemical weapons by Iran. Some consider this an attempt by Netanyahu to involve Trump in a new escalation of the war - NYT Israel transmitted intelligence to US intelligence agencies, according to which Iran is considering the possibility of using chemical weapons against its opponents. Some US officials believe that Benjamin Netanyahu's government is trying to convince Donald Trump to resume large-scale combat operations against Tehran, writes The New York Times citing sources. 🔵 Opinion of the US and Gulf countries. Some US officials treated Israel's information skeptically, recalling erroneous US intelligence statements about the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in 2002. Others consider the threat serious, taking into account numerous warnings about Iran preparing attacks against US interests. Israel also provided assessments to Gulf states, however, did not provide evidence. According to a source, the governments of these states considered the warnings insignificant. Some of them also suspect Israel of trying to push the US and allies to escalate the war. 🔵 Israel is not preparing for a chemical attack by Tehran. According to NYT information, the Israeli Defense Logistics Command is conducting exercises this week, however, preparation for the use of chemical weapons is not a significant part of them. Military personnel also did not issue mass safety reminders in case of such an attack. Netanyahu, in turn, faced difficulties after the elections last week, as a result of which he could not secure himself an obvious path to forming a government. Some analysts admit that an emergency in the security sector could help him attract opposition parties to a coalition. 🔵 US prepared a plan for new strikes. According to NYT sources, US Central Command developed a plan for strikes against Iran, implementation of which may begin as soon as Wednesday, November 4, after the midterm congressional elections. At that time, three US aircraft carriers will be in the region. At the same time, American and other diplomats continue to try to reach an agreement with Iran on opening the Strait of Hormuz and its nuclear program. Some members of the Trump administration advocate continued economic pressure instead of new strikes. 🔵 Reaction. Iran denies having chemical weapons and previously referred such accusations to psychological warfare. In Netanyahu's office it was stated that the country is tracking all threats from Tehran and ready to respond to them. 📍 Read without VPN Subscribe to "Novaya-Europa"
