Israel ‘preparing for strike on Iran's nuclear facilities'
Israel is believed to be preparing to strike Iran, even as the US negotiates a nuclear agreement with the country.
American intelligence has intercepted communications and observed military preparations for the possible imminent strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, CNN reported.
The account comes as tensions rise between President Trump and Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister — who had been planning a strike on Iran before the US leader vetoed the idea and instead announced talks with Tehran in March.
Israel has long advocated military action against Iran's nuclear facilities, arguing for the complete dismantlement of Tehran's nuclear programme. It had opposed a deal reached under Barack Obama to lift sanctions on Iran in return for reduced uranium enrichment.
Trump had withdrawn from that agreement

Trump shares unfounded conspiracy theory claiming Biden was 'executed' in 2020
President Donald Trump on Saturday night reposted a baseless claim on Truth Social that former President Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced with clones or robots. The original post, made by an anonymous Truth Social user that often spreads outlandish claims, suggested that Biden was replaced with 'clones, doubles' and 'robotic engineered soulless mindless entities.' Trump published a link to that post to his nearly 10 million followers, without adding any additional context or explanation. The original poster's account has a little more than 5,000 followers. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday explaining why Trump shared the post and whether Trump believes Biden was executed in 2020. Trump has frequently taken to sharing misinformation and unproven conspiracy theories over the years. The president repeats false claims that he won the 2020 presidential election, which led some of his supporters to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in an attempt to overturn Biden's victory. He also claimed — before backtracking — thatformer President Barack Obama was not born in the U.S. and, during the 2024 campaign,allegedthat Haitian immigrants were 'eating the pets.' All of those claims were debunked or otherwise proven false. Trump's circle, too, has spread conspiracy theories, with some of the top brass in the administration having spread misinformation about vaccines or the so-called 'deep state.' Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has previously repeated a debunked claim that the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine causes autism, and the FBI's director and deputy director have spread claims that the Biden administration and the 'deep state' weaponized the FBI against Trump. Biden revealed last month that he had been diagnosed with a metastatic form of an aggressive type of prostate cancer, as the former president and his top aides were already facing mounting scrutiny about his mental acuity and physical capabilities while in office and how forthcoming they had been with the country. The revelation of his cancer diagnosis initially prompted an outpouring of well-wishes fromDemocrats and Republicans, but it quickly shifted as Trump allies claimed Biden had hidden his cancer diagnosis. A spokesperson for Biden said at the time that the former president had never been diagnosed with prostate cancer before last month. Biden, since his diagnosis was made public , said on Friday he felt good and joked with reporters about the allegations of his supposed mental decline while in office. The repost Saturday joins a host of heightened attacks the president has brandished against Biden in recent weeks. Trump and House Republicans have scrutinized Biden's use of an autopen to sign some pieces of legislation and executive orders, using it to call into question Biden's mental state. Trump has gone as far as to claim that some pardons that Biden signed were not valid because they had not been signed with a real pen. NBC News has previously reported that the White House has used autopens to create signatures for decades.
