The United States had asked Israel to attack Iran alone
According to published reports, Washington had asked Israel in the past two weeks of negotiations to carry out a unilateral attack against Iran instead of an American or joint operation.
It is said that American officials were concerned that direct involvement from Washington could harm Donald Trump’s political position before the midterm elections, while such an action could benefit Benjamin Netanyahu before the Israeli elections.
Eli Zamir, the Chief of Staff of the Israeli Army, had warned that carrying out this operation could potentially lead to the postponement of the Israeli elections. According to these reports, Washington has currently set aside this request.
This plan was based on information claiming that despite attacks in recent months, Iran is rapidly rebuilding its ballistic missile and drone production capacity.
