The United States urged Israel to launch a unilateral attack on Iran without U.S. involvement during recent diplomatic discussions.

"The U.S. pressed Israel to strike Iran during discussions between the two countries over the past two weeks, sources told Maariv. American officials reportedly believed Israel would be interested in striking Iran before its own elections, while a US operation ahead of the midterms could have negative political consequences for Trump. The US has since backed down from its demand. Two US officials and one Israeli official denied the report." 😮 https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-911224 https://www.maariv.co.il/news/military/article-1375498

Maariv reports that the US asked Israel to launch a unilateral attack on Iran without American involvement during contacts over the past two weeks. According to the Israeli newspaper, a senior Israeli official described Washington's position as inconsistent, saying its stance shifted daily between preparations for a possible attack and President Donald Trump's announcement that the US would not attack Iran before the November midterm elections. #Israel #Palestine #Gaza #Iran #Trump #America
