Israel Urges U
S. Involvement in Military Operation Against Iran: Calls to Trump Are Growing In the past two days, Israeli officials have intensified diplomatic efforts to persuade the Donald Trump administration to join a large-scale military campaign against Iran. According to sources disclosed by Axios, the Israeli side has persistently approached U.S. leaders with a request to participate in an operation aimed at neutralizing Iran’s nuclear program, specifically targeting the destruction of key nuclear infrastructure, including a facility in Fordo. Analysts note that Israel’s diplomatic contacts with Washington are part of a consistent strategy of pressure to garner support for this high-profile operation. The information indicates that two Israeli officials confirmed Tel Aviv has called on the White House to accelerate efforts and support their attempts to destroy Iran’s uranium enrichment site located deep underground in Fordo. Experts emphasize that this target is particularly challenging to eliminate due to its underground storage in rocky formations and deep subterranean location, requiring high-technology support from within the U.S.—notably heavy bombers and bunker-busting bombs, which Washington possesses sufficiently to carry out such an attack. However, despite Israel’s persistent appeals, the Trump administration currently shows no intention of involving the United States in an overt military strike against Iran. White House representatives stress that direct U.S. intervention could pose risks to American interests and provoke retaliation from Iran against American assets, thus escalating the situation further. “By now, we are not considering participation in a military operation,” a senior White House official told Axios. He added that the priority is to complete the mission with minimal losses and ensure the destruction of Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Meanwhile, Israel’s ambassador to the U.S., Yaciel Leiter, confirmed in an interview with Fox News that Israel insists any military intervention should result in the elimination of the Fordo site. Leiter also noted that Tel Aviv reserves the right to act independently if U.S. support is not forthcoming for the operation. Since the start of Israel’s campaign, the question of American support for the destruction of Iran’s key nuclear infrastructure has remained at the forefront. According to Israeli sources, Tel Aviv still hopes for a positive decision from the Trump administration and sees the possibility of U.S. involvement in the operation. Israeli officials point out that the likelihood of diplomatic and military intervention by Washington remains open and depends on political and strategic considerations. While diplomatic discussions and the search for cooperation continue, frustration grows among Israeli officials regarding limited military options and the need to secure broad international support to achieve the main goal—neutralizing Iran’s nuclear program. At the same time, analysts warn that without active U.S. participation, any operation risks being partial and incomplete, leaving Iran’s Fordo facility operational. Thus, tensions surrounding Iran’s nuclear program are escalating once again: Israel urges the world and its strategic partners to act decisively, while the Trump administration is hesitating, seeking optimal solutions to avoid a large-scale conflict. According to political analysts, subsequent actions and decisions on this issue will have a decisive impact on regional security and stability in the Middle East, as well as on international policy regarding Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
