IRAN'S nuclear programme should have been dealt with "a long time ago", a senior Israeli political source has warned.
But insiders in Jerusalem say the US and Israel are now preparing to unleash a strike on Iran to finally destroy the threat of its nuke capabilities.
Tehran in return has warned it will blitz a US base after President Donald Trump insisted he was willing to bomb Iran if its leaders fail to reach a nuclear deal with Washington.
Trump vowed: “If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing… it will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before.”
The US president has even massed B-2 bombers at a US base - said to be 30 per cent of the US Air Force’s stealth bomber fleet.
Senior diplomatic sources have warned Iran is “much closer than anyone can be comfortable with” in developing nukes.
They claimed Tehran will be in a position to enrich enough Uranium 233 to produce several fission weapons by the end of the month.
A senior Israeli politician in Jerusalem told The Sun it is more important now than ever to stop Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s nuclear ambitions.
The insider said: “This should have been avoided a long time ago.
“It should stop. It’s not just a crazy insistence. It’s extremely important for the stability of Israel and the world.
“The whole world should make an effort to make sure that Iran is restrained.”
Tensions in Israel are high as Iran is regarded as the “head of the snake” for terror - acting as a puppet master for proxies including Hamas and Hezbollah.
An Israeli diplomatic source warned it is crucial a deal be thrashed out with Iran to temper its nuclear programme.
They said: “From Israel’s perspective, with Trump in the White House, this represents the optimum moment to deal with Iran. There won’t be a better chance.
“Obtaining precise intelligence on just how far Iran’s nuclear programme has advanced has always been hard to obtain.
“But the reality is they’re much much closer than anyone can be comfortable with. And they have been for some time.”
IDF sources told The Sun Tehran is now “many, many steps back” as Israeli forces have been working for months to clear the path for a major strike on Iran.
They told how three air campaigns in Iran have eliminated most aerial defences which were “the main obstacle”.
The IDF insider said it has worked to significantly downgrade the threat posed by Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthi - effectively leaving Iran isolated.
They told The Sun: “Over the past year, we struck in Yemen three or four times, and we had three air campaigns in Iran, eliminating on the way most of the aerial defence systems in Syria, Iraq, and Iran.
“They were the main obstacle when thinking about a big aerial operation on the way to Iran. Their proxy aerial defence systems.”
Shelly Tal Meron, a member of the Israeli Knesset, warned Israel“cannot afford” for Iran to have nuclear weapons.
Speaking in Jerusalem, the Yesh Atid Party politician said “there is no question” that Tehran is the “head of the snake”.
She said: “There is no question that there are threats to the free world. When it comes to Israel, it's an existential threat.
“We cannot afford to have Iran have nuclear weapons.
“I think that the world is waking up to this reality and understanding that the Iranian regime is not only a problem for the State of Israel but other countries as well.
