An Iranian health official tells The Times that iodine tablets are being distributed to Iranian communities near nuclear facilities to protect against potential exposure to radiation caused by an Israeli-American attack, adding that this is done in every war, but Iranian officials are now taking a potential attack more seriously, stating that "Trump can no longer be trusted. He may go through with this crime." An Iranian political analyst close to the government, Masoud Pazeshkians, told The Times that senior Iranian government officials, the Revolutionary Guards, and the Islamic Republic of Iran's army all believe that war is imminent and that Mount Pikes will be a target.
