Netanyahu to Brief Trump on Iran Missile Threat, Weighing New Strike Options

The White House insists June’s operation wiped out Iran’s nuclear capability, highlighting disputed assessments over Tehran’s rebuild.

Overview

  • NBC News reports Netanyahu will present choices for U.S. support or joint action against Iran’s expanding ballistic missile program at a Dec. 29 Mar-a-Lago meeting.
  • Israeli officials focus on missile production and air-defense repairs as the immediate risk, with some briefed sources warning output could rise to 3,000 missiles a month if unchecked.
  • Trump said the meeting is not formally set, though Israeli officials have announced the date.
  • The White House said IAEA and Iranian statements corroborate its view that June’s Operation Midnight Hammer “totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
  • Israel and Iran offered no comment on the report, as Western intelligence noted unusual IRGC Aerospace Force movements that may reflect exercises but prompted heightened monitoring.
