A US official participated in a classified Israel Air Force exercise simulating a “massive attack” on the Iranian nuclear facility reports Times of Israel. The drill took place two weeks ago, according to the report.

A United States Air Force officer took part in the exercise in the role of an an observer, Israel’s Kann public broadcaster reported.

The drill involved dozens of Air Force jets and included several scenarios. Among them – long-range strikes, mid-air refueling, and responses against anti-aircraft weaponry.

The unconventional participation of an American official was portrayed by the report as proof of a shift in Washington’s view of Iran’s nuclear program as negotiations for a new deal have seem to be failing.

A US State Department official told reporters on Monday that the window of opportunity for obtaining a possible nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic was closing.

“Iran’s nuclear program is advancing. A deal will become irrelevant in a few weeks,” he said, adding that it was made clear to both Iran and other participants in the negotiations in Vienna.

They've been saying this for a while, but will Biden give them another Obama-like sweetheart deal?

If it’s “Secret”, why does everyone here Read about it?

It was kind of a secret when it happened 2 weeks ago. It seems to have coincided with a joint Israel-US F-16 exercise in the Negev.

LOL

No air exercises in the Middle East are ‘secret’. They’re just unannounced.

Don’t know how Israel can do anything with its air force in secret, in that part of the world.

“With US participation”

Never again. We gave you Saddam. We gave you Qadaffi.

No more. We have our own problems. You moved into a bad neighborhood. Deal with it.

So, Israel is going to sucker us into sending American soldiers to die so they won’t have to send theirs.
