Israel has warned US intelligence officials that Iran may be preparing to use chemical weapons, a claim that has divided the Trump administration, according to a tweet from Walter Bloomberg (@DeItaone) citing US–Iran developments. Some US officials take the threat seriously, while others suspect Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is trying to draw Washington back into major military operations, and Gulf officials have also questioned the Israeli assessment. US Central Command reportedly has plans for strikes as early as November 4, though President Trump has not authorized renewed attacks. Diplomatic efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz are continuing alongside the military buildup. The dispute matters because it signals potential escalation in the US–Iran standoff and uncertainty over whether Washington will approve new military action.
