Iran's armed forces began a large-scale joint air defence exercise near the Natanz uranium enrichment facility in central Isfahan province hinting towards a possible US attack.

Axios reported that outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden has urged Israel to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities before Donald Trump takes charge on. Israel is reportedly considering bombarding Iranian nuclear facilities in response to the recurring Houthi attacks on the Jewish state in the past few weeks.

Iran’s nuclear facilities would be “extremely” difficult for Israeli forces to strike, defense sources have told The Post, adding that the Jewish state is willing to take such a bold step if officials deem it necessary — since President-elect Donald Trump has not objected to the possibility.
