<p>Both Israel and the incoming Donald Trump administration in the US are mulling strikes on Iranian nuclear sites to prevent the Shi’ite nation from developing a nuclear bomb.

<p>The IDF is worried that a weakened Iran may now expedite its nuclear development programme to maintain deterrence.</p>
