Geneva (Monitoring Desk) Senior American officials have reportedly estimated that if the ongoing Geneva talks fail to produce results, US President Donald Trump could order a \u201clarge-scale American-Israeli military operation\u201d against Iran, according to Israel\u2019s Channel 12.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report suggests that potential targets in such an operation may extend to Iran\u2019s top leadership, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. While no official confirmation has been issued by Washington or Tel Aviv, the claims indicate growing concern within US strategic circles over the outcome of the diplomatic process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Geneva talks, aimed at addressing tensions surrounding Iran\u2019s nuclear programme, are viewed as a critical diplomatic effort to prevent further escalation in the Middle East. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, officials cited in the report believe that if negotiations collapse, military options could move to the forefront of US-Israeli coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysts warn that any direct military action targeting Iran\u2019s leadership would mark a dramatic escalation and could trigger a broader regional conflict. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran has repeatedly vowed to respond forcefully to any external aggression, raising fears of retaliatory strikes and destabilisation across neighboring states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stakes surrounding the Geneva negotiations are therefore exceptionally high. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A diplomatic breakthrough could ease tensions and reduce the risk of confrontation, while failure may significantly increase the likelihood of military escalation involving major regional and global powers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neither the White House nor Israeli officials have publicly commented on the specifics of the Channel 12 report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the disclosure underscores the fragile state of diplomacy and the growing pressure surrounding the negotiations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
