"No one knows whether Trump intends to launch an attack or reach an agreement with Iran, but the main issue behind Netanyahu's visit to Washington is that the United States and Israel must coordinate on this matter," stated Nir Dvori, the military affairs correspondent for Israeli Channel 12, on Sunday.

Referring to the deadline US President Donald Trump gave Iran regarding the nuclear deal, Dvori said six weeks remained until the window shuts, adding, "It's not certain that it will succeed, which is why the United States has been amassing massive firepower in the Middle East for many years, in preparation for a possible attack on Iran."

However, in case of an attack on Iran, Dvori said "Israel" would suffer the immediate consequence "because Iran is capable of and has threatened to strike Israel in such a scenario."

Earlier today, a senior Iranian official told Reuters that Iran is resisting Trump’s demands for direct talks over its nuclear program, instead proposing continued indirect negotiations via Oman, a long-established intermediary.

“Indirect talks offer a chance to evaluate Washington's seriousness about a political solution with Iran,” the official said, noting such dialogue could begin soon if US signals were favorable. However, they acknowledged that the process may be “rocky".

Iran has simultaneously issued notices to regional countries, including Iraq, Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar, Turkey, and Bahrain, warning them that allowing US forces to use their territory or airspace in an attack on Iran would be viewed as a hostile act.

“Such an act will have severe consequences for them,” the official warned, adding that Iranian leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei has placed the armed forces on high alert.

These warnings follow heightened regional tensions amid ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza and Lebanon, US aggression on Yemen, regime changes in Syria, and threats between Iran and "Israel". The possibility of escalation has raised concerns among Gulf nations, which are heavily reliant on stable oil transit through the region.
