Israel Seeks US Support in Iran Operation: Trump Administration Distances Itself JERUSALEM, June 15, 2025 – A report emerged today detailing Israel's urgent request for US military assistance in an operation targeting Iran's nuclear program. According to Israeli officials, the operation is intended to neutralize Iran's nuclear capabilities. However, a second American official confirmed the request, while the Trump administration has distanced itself, emphasizing that any retaliatory strikes by Iran on US soil would be considered unlawful. "Israel has been in contact with the Trump administration, seeking their involvement in this crucial operation," stated an Israeli official, who chose to remain anonymous. The official emphasized the urgency of the situation. A senior US official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, confirmed the Israeli request. However, the White House released a statement later in the day, distancing the administration from the operation. The statement clarified that any Iranian attacks on US targets would be deemed illegal. Adding to the complexity, the Knesset has suspended consideration of Prime Minister Netanyahu's position on the matter, creating further uncertainty.

The potential for escalation remains high, underscoring the need for diplomatic engagement and de-escalation efforts.
