Israeli officials are under the impression that the United States will join Israel’s offensive against Iran, Hebrew media reports.
“We would be very surprised if the Americans don’t join the offensive. We assess that it’s not a question of if — but of when,” Channel 12 quotes two senior Israeli sources as saying this evening.
According to the officials, US President Donald Trump “wants to build on the achievements made so far, and his instincts tell him this is an opportunity to join the attack from a clearly advantageous position.”
“We assess that it’s hard to see him pulling back at this stage. Mentally, he’s in attack mode — not isolationism. Something truly exceptional would have to happen for him not to join,” they say.
In another report, the Kan public broadcaster cites an Israeli official as saying that Washington is expected to join the campaign and help Israel attack the underground nuclear facility in Fordo, an operation Israel may not be able to handle alone.
“The situation is critical — American involvement could shorten the duration of the war,” the official says in the report.
