Investing.com -- Israel is considering taking military action against Iran in the coming days, according to ABC News. The news organization cited three sources familiar with the situation who provided details about the potential strike.

The sources indicated they were not aware of any specific U.S. role in an Israeli strike on Iran. They noted, however, that it remains possible the U.S. could provide logistical support and share intelligence with Israel that might be used for such an operation.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said U.S. personnel were being relocated from the Middle East, describing it as a "dangerous place." The president also emphasized that the United States would not permit Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon, highlighting increased tensions in the region.

A senior Iranian official issued a warning on Wednesday, stating that Tehran would strike U.S. bases in the region if nuclear negotiations fail and conflict develops. This statement further escalates the already tense situation between the countries.

The potential Israeli military action comes amid growing concerns about regional stability and ongoing disputes over Iran’s nuclear program. Neither Israeli nor U.S. officials have publicly confirmed specific plans for military operations against Iranian targets.
