Israel passed intelligence information to the US about Iran's possible use of chemical weapons - NYT According to the "New York Times", Israel provided the United States with intelligence information according to which Iran is allegedly considering using chemical weapons against its opponents. American officials disagree with these claims. Some see it as a credible threat amid warnings of possible Iranian attacks on American facilities and interests. Others suspect that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government is trying to pressure Washington to resume major military operations against Iran. Some US officials found parallels with the controversial 2002 claims that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, which later became one of the justifications for the US invasion of Iraq. Israel also shared intelligence information with the Gulf states. However, some representatives of these countries are skeptical about the accusations and believe that Israel seeks to further escalate the conflict. right. Like contact me.
