🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — Israel has provided the U.S. with intelligence alleging that Iran is considering using chemical weapons against its adversaries, according to NYT. American officials are divided over the claims. Some consider the threat credible amid warnings of possible Iranian attacks on U.S. interests, while others suspect Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government is attempting to pressure Washington into resuming large-scale military operations against Iran. Several officials have drawn comparisons to the disputed Iraqi weapons of mass destruction claims made in 2002. Israel has also shared intelligence with Gulf countries, where some officials remain skeptical of the allegations and believe Israel is seeking to escalate the conflict.
