Israeli officials have told the Trump administration they do not want to wait two weeks for Iran to reach a deal to dismantle key parts of its nuclear program and Israel could act alone before the deadline is up, two sources said, amid a continuing debate on Trump's team about whether the U.S. should get involved.

The two sources familiar with the matter said Israel had communicated their concerns to Trump administration officials on Thursday in what they described as a tense phone call.

The Israeli officials said they do not want to wait the two weeks that U.S. President Donald Trump presented on Thursday as a deadline for deciding whether the U.S. will get involved in the Israel-Iran war, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The Israeli participants on the call included Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz and military chief Eyal Zamir, according to a security source.

It’s Reuters so you don’t know what is the truth and what is not the truth.

Then, it can take swift action.

Israel absolutely shouldn't expect anymore than limited, surgical strikes on Iran from us.

Let Trump rent out a bomber to Isreal, and with a handful of purchased bunker busters everyone wins, Iran loses!
Let Israel end this, and we get funds for the US treasury.
If a plane gets shot down Israel agrees to replace it, by paying to build a replacement.

Trump didn’t start this military action Israel did and I’m sure that he does not enjoy being pushed into decisive action which is going to lead to more hostility with Iran.

You don’t want to wait? Then, Trump should tell Netanyahu to go it alone.

1) Trump did not give a 2 week deadline - he said “within the next 2 weeks”
2) it is Reuters, and is doubtful they have inside sources
3) the Media hears what it wants to hear. Truth is a story killer for them

I don’t get it either, especially with all the US military assets being moved around.

So Vance is one of the ones against this. He knows very well that if this goes forward his chances in ‘28 won’t be good.

If you think we weren’t fully in on the planning and timing of this, you’re being naive.

B-2s are apparently a very limited edition.

Remember when people were calling Tony Blair Bush’s poodle? Trump is Netanyahu’s poodle right now.

What’s not the truth is that they are “seeking swift action” because they “are winning”.

The world needs to remember Iran declared war on the USA in 1979 and have been terrorizing, sabotaging and killings Americans ever since. It is time to end the war once and for all. It is and has been an unresolved war over too many years. Assist Israel with air power and get the job done.

The continual shilly-shallying over the course of decades is the reason why Iran is on the brink of having nuclear weapons in the first place. It’s time to either defecate or arise from the receptacle.
