Depending on who you ask, a nuclear agreement between Iran and the United states is either a non-starter or almost a done deal.

Crude oil prices rose Tuesday night, following a report that Israel is gearing up for a possible strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Iran’s nuclear facilities are deep underground and heavily fortified. An effective attack by Israel would require U.S. assistance for both mid-air refueling and munitions, according to the February intelligence report.

The Israeli government and its embassy in Washington, along with the U.S. National Security Council, have so far not commented on the matter, as reported by Reuters.

New intelligence obtained by the United States suggests that Israel is making preparations to strike Iranian nuclear facilities, CNN reported on Tuesday, citing multiple U.S. officials familiar with the intelligence.

The chance of a strike would be more likely if the US reached a deal with Iran that did not remove all of the country's uranium, CNN reported.

The US has been talking with Hamas through an American intermediary in Doha this week in hopes of brokering an Israel-Gaza ceasefire agreement, according to a source familiar with the matter, as US officials say President Donald Trump is growing increasingly frustrated with Israel’s handling of the conflict.
