The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas temporarily stopped the violence in the Middle East. However, tensions could rise again as Israel may attack Iran`s nuclear sites by midyear. According to the Washington Post, Israel is expected to launch a preemptive strike on Iran`s nuclear program, potentially setting back Iran`s progress for months. Key sites like Fordow and Natanz might be targeted. A January intelligence report revealed that Israel could target these facilities after its October bombing weakened Iran’s air defences. The attack may happen with U.S. support, offering aerial refueling and intelligence. This strike could escalate tensions in the region significantly.
