June 12 (UPI) -- Iran's pursuit of a nuclear arsenal could trigger a military strike by Israel if diplomatic efforts fail to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power.

Israel is considering a military strike against Iran that likely would not be supported by the United States, NBC News, The New York Times and ABC News reported on Thursday.

U.S. and Iranian representatives are discussing a potential agreement that would enable Iran to enrich uranium for energy but not to produce nuclear weapons.

The Trump administration is awaiting a response from Iran regarding the potential agreement framework, but Iranian negotiators have become more "hardline" during the process, President Donald Trump said.
