While there are concerns that Iran is also seeking to revive nuclear enrichment sites hit by U.S. bombers, Israeli officials believe missile production poses the most immediate danger.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is preparing to brief President Donald Trump on renewed military options against Iran, driven by Israeli assessments that Tehran is accelerating the reconstruction of its ballistic missile program following strikes earlier this year, according to U.S. and Israeli sources cited by NBC.
Netanyahu is expected to raise the issue during a planned meeting with Trump at the president’s Mar-a-Lago residence on Dec. 29.
Israeli officials view Iran’s missile production and air defense recovery as a more urgent threat than its nuclear efforts, which they believe were significantly damaged during U.S. and Israeli operations in June.
According to people familiar with the plans, Netanyahu intends to argue that Iran’s expanding missile capabilities endanger not only Israel but also regional stability and U.S. interests.
