As Israel expands its military operations in Lebanon, a former Israeli Prime Minister has called for a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, describing it as a 'once-in-a-generation' opportunity. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have taken control of a Hezbollah compound in southern Lebanon, signaling an intensification of the conflict. Meanwhile, concerns are growing in Washington about the potential for Israel to target Iran's nuclear sites, with analysts questioning whether such an operation could succeed without U.S. support. The situation is rapidly evolving, with the power dynamics in the Middle East shifting as the U.S. continues to back Israel's military actions.
