Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz has told officials in the United States that he has instructed the IDF to prepare for an attack on Iran in case the negotiations on a deal meant to curb Tehran’s nuclear ambitions fall through, sources said today, Ynet reports.

Despite Israel’s warnings about Iran rapidly accelerating the pace if its nuclear program and possible consequences of lifting all sanctions currently imposed on Tehran, Gantz’s American counterparts reportedly made it clear they favor a diplomatic approach, with an attack on the Islamic Republic seen only as a last resort.

“The Americans are with us, and at the same time we, as Israelis, need to understand that the United States looks at the world broadly and has other priorities,” said one Israeli source, who added that despite Washington’s apprehension, “there was no veto” regarding a potential strike on Iran.

“If [the Americans decide] they have had enough, they will not jump on the military option right away. Instead, they will put pressure on [Tehran], all while preparing [for a military action] as well.”
