According to Arab sources, the United States is expected to strike Iran's Mount Machush nuclear facility tonight. The claim follows President Trump's earlier statement that the US would attack the site 'very soon' and 'with force.' The report is unverified and no specific timing or method was detailed.
Unverified reports from Arab sources claim that the United States will strike Iran's Mount Machush nuclear facility tonight. The claim, which emerged after 22:00 Jerusalem, adds to mounting speculation of an imminent US operation against the hardened site, following President Trump's repeated threats throughout Tuesday evening.
Trump first vowed to strike the site 'very soon' and 'with force' at 18:40 Jerusalem, as The Zioneer reported. Over the course of the evening, he issued multiple escalating statements — including that Iran 'hasn't seen anything yet' and that the US would 'definitely attack' — all published at the same initial timestamp. The Israeli defense establishment had been on its highest alert in months by Monday night, according to a Zioneer report from Jul 13 at 23:56 Jerusalem. A US official later confirmed ongoing strikes and that the nuclear facility had been added to the target list, as reported on Jul 14 at 20:56 Jerusalem.
Earlier Tuesday, The Zioneer reported at 08:04 Jerusalem that Iran had transferred thousands of centrifuges to Mount Machush, citing Israeli intelligence assessments. A senior Iranian official warned CNN on Tuesday that any US strike would cost American soldiers and their allies, as reported at 14:27 Jerusalem. The Zioneer also reported on Jul 12 that an Iran-linked media outlet claimed American bases would be attacked tonight, though that claim remains unverified.
The latest claim from Arab sources does not specify a precise timing, method, or targets within the site. It remains unclear whether the reported strike would be carried out independently or in coordination with Israel. The identity of the sources has not been disclosed, and the report has not been corroborated by official US or Israeli channels.
