Summary
Jerusalem sources told the New York Post that Israel is prepared to join US strikes on Iran if Donald Trump asks, saying it is willing “to do it again” if needed.
IDF officials separately told The Jerusalem Post that Israel is not seeking to enter the current US-Iran exchanges now, though the military is ready for any eventuality and sees no near-term Iranian strike on Israel.
US Central Command said this week’s renewed strikes were a response to Iran’s efforts to impose heavy costs over attacks on commercial shipping and civilian crews in international waters.
Wednesday’s escalation also pushed Trump to declare the US-Iran memorandum of understanding effectively dead at the NATO summit in Ankara, saying talks had wasted time and he did not want to continue them.
