Israel waits for US to join its military offense in Iran
(MENAFN) Israel reportedly expects the United States to take part in its continued military operations against Iran, according to recent accounts from local sources.
An anonymous senior Israeli official indicated that decision-makers in Tel Aviv believe US President Donald Trump is likely to approve American military involvement in the campaign. “Trump would want to be remembered as someone who took part, not someone who stood by,” the official stated.
He further emphasized that Israel’s capacity to inflict substantial damage on Iran's Fordow nuclear site is limited without US support. Fordow, known for its strong fortifications and strategic importance, is a key target in Israel’s operational plans.
According to reports, Israeli military leadership is actively preparing for a potential strike on the facility. While the decision on when to launch such an attack remains with Israel, officials admit that the effectiveness would be significantly reduced if American forces do not participate.
As noted in regional analyses, shifts in President Trump’s position may reflect a growing intention to become directly involved in the confrontation. Additionally, it was highlighted that Israel's top defense figures are closely coordinating on the matter. During a security meeting on Tuesday, Defense Minister Israel Katz acknowledged the ongoing high-level communication between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer with the U.S. president.
