It appears Israel wants to drag the United States into a war with Iran.

Israel has officially requested the United States to join its military campaign against Iran.

In recent days, the United States has assisted Israel by using its air defense systems and a Navy destroyer to down incoming ballistic missiles launched by Iran.

The Times of Israel reported on the story more in-depth:

Israel has urged the United States over the past two days to join its newly launched military campaign against Iran, but the US is currently not considering such a move, reports Axios, citing Israeli and American officials.

In the past 48 hours, Israel asked US President Donald Trump’s administration to join its attack against the Islamic Republic’s nuclear and military sites, two Israeli officials told the news site.

A US official confirmed Israel’s request and said the Trump administration is not currently considering joining the conflict, the report reads.

Israel seeks American assistance primarily to destroy Iran’s underground Fordo uranium enrichment site, which may be beyond Israel’s military capabilities to do alone, says the report.

A senior White House official told Axios today that “Whatever happens” with Israel’s strikes on Iran “cannot be prevented…But we have the ability to negotiate a successful peaceful resolution to this conflict if Iran is willing. The fastest way for Iran to accomplish peace is to give up its nuclear weapons program,” the report continues.

Axios reported earlier that Trump recently told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the US would consider striking the Fordo site if such a move would become necessary to prevent Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, citing Israeli officials.

Per The Kyiv Independent:

A second U.S. official confirmed that Israel had urged the U.S. to take part, but said the administration is not currently considering involvement. Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter told Fox News on June 13 that “the entire operation… really has to be completed with the elimination of Fordow.”

An Israeli source told Axios that the U.S. is considering the request, and that Israel hopes Trump will agree to it.

A senior White House official told Axios on June 14 that “whatever happens today cannot be prevented,” referring to the Israeli attacks. “But we have the ability to negotiate a successful peaceful resolution to this conflict if Iran is willing. The fastest way for Iran to accomplish peace is to give up its nuclear weapons program,” the official added.

U.S. officials have so far maintained that Iranian retaliation must not target American forces, arguing that the current Israeli operation does not justify attacks on U.S. interests.
