NEW: Radio France reports that everything is ready "on paper" for an Israeli attack in Iran. Some 3,000 targets have been identified, and the "Jewish state wants to take action quickly", a diplomatic source says.
The report states Israel wishes to form a military coalition, especially with Western powers, in order to strike Iran. The military coalition aims to bring together France, the US and, ideally, a few Arab countries.
"Netanyahu thus sends a message to Westerners: I support you in your war against Russia, support me in my battle against Iran. This is what he is looking for in Paris"
