BLUF
Haaretz reports that Israel told the United States that Iran is weighing the use of chemical weapons. The article says U.S. intelligence officials are divided over whether Iran would use them, and Gulf states have viewed Israel’s assessments skeptically.

Why it matters
The report concerns assessments shared with the United States and Gulf states, but the article does not establish that Iran plans to use chemical weapons. It describes a potential security concern for the region and U.S. partners, not a confirmed change in threat.
