Over the past 48 hours, “Israel” has urged the Trump administration to join its war effort against Iran to eliminate Tehran’s nuclear program, according to two Israeli officials.
“Israel” lacks the necessary capabilities, such as bunker-busting bombs and long-range bombers, to destroy deeply buried sites like Iran’s Fordow uranium enrichment facility, which is fortified within a mountain. The US, however, possesses these weapons and has them stationed within striking distance.
Despite the repeated requests by the Israeli regime, the Trump administration has so far resisted direct involvement, maintaining that Iran would have no legitimate grounds to retaliate against US targets for an Israeli-led operation.
Officials warned that any American strike on Iranian territory, even a limited one, would effectively drag the US into a full-scale war.
One Israeli official told Axios that President Trump may have suggested a willingness to join the mission during a recent call with Prime Minister Netanyahu. However, a White House official denied that claim, and a second US official confirmed “Israel’s” push for US participation but said the administration is not currently considering it.
A senior White House official told Axios on Saturday that “whatever happens today cannot be prevented,” referring to “Israel’s” ongoing strikes on Iran.
However, the official emphasized that a peaceful resolution is still possible if Iran was willing to engage.
The fastest way for Iran to accomplish peace is to give up its nuclear weapons program,” the official believes.
Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter echoed that sentiment in a Friday interview with Fox News, saying, “The entire operation… really has to be completed with the elimination of Fordow,” which is Iran’s underground uranium enrichment facility.
