An Iranian health official told The Times that iodine tablets are being distributed to communities near nuclear sites to protect against possible exposure to radiation that could result from an attack on Israel and the US, adding that this was done before any war, but now Iranian officials are taking the possibility of an attack more seriously and saying: "Trump can no longer be trusted. He can commit this crime."

An Iranian political analyst, according to The Times, close to the government of Massoud Pazhkian, told the publication that senior representatives of the Iranian government, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Islamic Republic of Iran's army believe that war is inevitable, and that the target of the attack will definitely be Mount Picax.
