TL;DR Summary

Israel has warned the US and European countries that Iran's enrichment of uranium above 60% could trigger a military strike, according to a senior Israeli official. Israel has increased its private and public threats of military action against Tehran in recent months to deter the country from escalating its nuclear program. Iran has amassed 87.5 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium, which experts say could produce at least one nuclear bomb if enriched to 90% weapons grade. The Israeli government is continuing to prepare for a possible military strike in Iran and has asked the US to expedite the delivery of four KC-46 tankers.
