U.S. officials believe Israel intends to target Iranian military and energy

It is unlikely that Israel has the weaponry required to take out Iran’s nuclear facilities permanently, according to Matthew Savill, the director of military sciences at the Royal United Services Institute, a London-based think tank. “It is generally assessed that the deepest facilities require large weapons that can only be dropped from U.S. bombers,” Savill told NBC News today. As a result, he added that Israel would have to convince the Biden administration to drop one of the world’s largest non-nuclear weapons.
