Is Israel About to Attack Iran's Nuclear Facilities?

It would be an outrageous act of aggression, and it would be terrible for regional peace and stability, so it is entirely consistent with how the Israeli government has been acting.

The Israeli government is reportedly preparing to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities:

The US has obtained new intelligence suggesting that Israel is making preparations to strike Iranian nuclear facilities, even as the Trump administration has been pursuing a diplomatic deal with Tehran, multiple US officials familiar with the latest intelligence told CNN.

Attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities would be a reckless and destructive thing to do, so it is entirely possible that Netanyahu will go through with it. The prime minister has been demagoguing the nuclear issue for decades, and he has been angling to get the U.S. into a war with Iran one way or another. It may be that he thinks that he has an opening to order the attack that he has been threatening for years. It would be an outrageous act of aggression, and it would be terrible for regional peace and stability, so it is entirely consistent with how the Israeli government has been acting.
