[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-woo] Major foreign media reported that the United States and Israel plan to discuss joint military training measures to carry out airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities if the restoration negotiations of the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA - Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) fail. The Israeli military is also reportedly preparing military exercises in the first half of next year in preparation for an actual airstrike on Iranian nuclear facilities.


On the 8th (local time), major foreign media cited a senior U.S. official saying, "U.S. and Israeli authorities are planning to discuss military training measures related to the destruction of Iranian nuclear facilities, assuming the worst-case scenario of failure in restoring the Iran nuclear deal." However, the senior official did not disclose specific details of the discussions between the two countries, according to the major foreign media.


According to major foreign media, the U.S. and Israeli governments recognize that Iran's nuclear program is advancing at an unprecedented pace, leading them to feel the necessity of destruction if the nuclear deal restoration talks fail. The U.S. government had previously warned Iran in October that it might consider military options if the restoration negotiations collapsed.



The Israeli military is already preparing intensive military exercises aimed at destroying Iranian nuclear facilities. According to the Times of Israel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) plan to conduct large-scale exercises in the Mediterranean in the first half of next year, mobilizing dozens of aircraft in preparation for airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
