Israel is reportedly preparing to carry out a military operation in Iran as the Middle East regime has refused to comply with U.N.-backed nuclear obligations.

Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) is ready to enter Iran to carry out a strike “in the coming days” and without U.S. support, the Jerusalem Post reported.

Reports of an Israeli operation in Iran came on the heels of a U.N. watchdog report that found Iran is not fulfilling its nuclear obligations and will be slapped with censures as a result.

In response, Tehran announced it will construct a new enrichment facility “in a secure location.”

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has no choice but to respond to this political resolution,” the Iranian Foreign Ministry and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran said in a joint statement to the Associated Press.

The news comes after the U.S. pulled diplomats from the embassy in Iraq as tensions with neighboring Iran intensify.

“They are being moved out because it’s a dangerous place,” President Donald Trump told reporters outside the Kennedy Center Wednesday night. “They can’t have a nuclear weapon. We’re not going to allow that.”
