Hebrew-language Israeli media reported “the US president is disappointed with PM Netanyahu” after learning he pressured then-Natl Security Advisor Mike Waltz to sign off on an all-out military action by Israel against Iran. The Washington Post also reported that, prior to a White House meeting between Trump and Netanyahu in March, Waltz looked to be “engaged in intense coordination with Netanyahu about military options against Iran,” something Trump opposed.
Netanyahu claimed in response thru The Washington Post that he spoke with Waltz “only once.” However, Trump was not assuaged. Netanyahu admitting to “only once” showed his dark side and earned him a swift rebuke from Trump.
According to the NY Times, for years, Israel’s military planners have acknowledged that wiping out Iran’s nuclear program would be difficult for them in large part because some of Iran’s key facilities—like the Fordow enrichment plant—are buried inside mountains.
Iran’s fortified sites are designed to withstand conventional airstrikes, meaning the second-class Israeli military.....for all its bold talk.....desperately needs the US’ specialized bunker-busting bombs to do the job.
Trump was not pleased when Netanyahu came to the WH -—hat in hand-—to hear that Israel wanted to inveigle him into the Iran situation, meaning the US would incur Iran’s wrath, and would get the blame for bombing Iran........thus endangering American families.
