Iran has no chemical capability threatening Israel, defense official says

According to Ynet, a senior Israeli defense official stated on Wednesday that at this point, Iran possesses no chemical capability that poses a threat to the State of Israel. These remarks follow a New York Times report claiming that Israel shared intelligence with the U.S. suggesting Iran was considering the use of chemical weapons against its enemies. According to the report, some U.S. officials expressed deep skepticism regarding the intelligence. The Israeli official emphasized that they are monitoring the threat and will act if necessary. It was also reported that U.S. and Israeli militaries have developed plans for potential strikes against Iran, though U.S. President Donald Trump stated in an interview that he has no immediate plan to attack Iran.
