Israel has shared intelligence with the United States indicating that Iran may be considering the use of chemical weapons against its adversaries. The information has reportedly generated concern among some senior American officials, while others remain deeply skeptical, according to U.S. and regional sources cited in a report. Some U.S. officials reportedly view the Israeli intelligence as part of a pressure campaign by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, aimed at persuading the Trump administration to resume extensive combat operations against Iran. Conversely, others believe the threats should be taken seriously, given recent warnings about Iran's preparations to attack American interests. Israel has also shared some of this intelligence with Gulf state officials. Some of these officials have expressed doubt that Iran is developing plans for chemical weapons use, suggesting instead that Israel is attempting to push the United States and its partners toward a more aggressive phase in the conflict.
