The New York Times, citing American and regional officials, reported on Tuesday, November 3, that Israel provided the United States with information about the possible use of chemical weapons by the Islamic Republic. This information was met with concern by some US officials and serious skepticism by others. According to this newspaper, several American officials believe that the government of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, is trying to convince the President of the United States, Donald Trump, to resume large-scale military operations against the Islamic Republic by providing this information. On the other hand, some American officials, referring to recent warnings about the possibility of Tehran's attacks on American interests, believe that this information should be taken seriously. Israel also shared some of its information with the authorities of the Persian Gulf countries. According to a regional official, Israeli officials did not provide evidence and only explained their intelligence assessments. Some officials in the region also cast doubt on the possibility that Tehran plans to use chemical weapons.
