Iran Warns Decisive Strike Against Israel Amid Nuclear Talks

Amid rising tensions following the fifth round of nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran, Iranian Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi threatened a "decisive strike" against Israel, referencing previous missile and drone attacks codenamed "True Promise." Mousavi dismissed Israeli threats as ineffective and warned that any escalation would pose serious challenges to Israel and its Western allies. The warnings come as U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem briefed Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on the status of the nuclear negotiations, highlighting the tension between ongoing diplomacy and military posturing. Concurrently, Iran warned the U.S. it would hold Washington responsible for any Israeli attack on its nuclear sites, as Israel reportedly prepares for a potential strike due to concerns over Iran's advancing nuclear program. According to the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, Iran could produce weapons-grade uranium within a week, intensifying Israel's urgency and readiness to act militarily if negotiations fail. The impasse in talks, combined with Israel's visible military preparations and U.S. support for Israel, underscores the fragile and volatile situation in the region.
