Israel is willing to join future US attacks on Iran should Washington seek help after President Trump declared the cease-fire with Tehran “over,” sources in Jerusalem told The New York Post.
Axar.az informs according to NYP, “We’ve proved that we stand with the US,” one source said. “I’m not sure it will be the interest of them — of the US that Israel will join on this — but, you know, we realize that we need to stretch our muscles.”
“We’re willing to do it again, if needed,” the person added.
Trump authorized a second day of strikes on Iran on Wednesday hours after unleashing a torrent of fiery criticism at the Islamist regime – calling Iran’s leadership “scum,” “evil,” “loco,” and “sick people” at the annual NATO summit.
Still, the Jerusalem source noted Israel is “not eager to go back to the day when people have to go to shelters,” referencing the early days of the war that saw Tehran regularly lobbing missiles and drones indiscriminately at the Jewish state.
“At the same time, you know, we don’t want to ignore what’s happening in Iran,” the source said in comments Wednesday before the latest US airstrikes on Iran. “So if that will be the price we’ll have to pay, we will bear with that situation.”
For now, Israeli intelligence assesses that Iran “has no interest in drawing Israel into the conflict” — which is the reason Tehran hasn’t targeted the Jewish state in this volley of strikes, the Jerusalem Post reported Thursday, citing two Israeli officials.
