Israel tells the US: They are prepared to strike Iran alone
According to a report by the Jerusalem Post, Israeli officials have told the Pentagon that Iran's missile program poses a serious threat to Israel, and they are prepared to take unilateral action when necessary. However, the source said: According to their observation, Iran has not yet reached a very dangerous threshold, and Israel is closely monitoring the development of Iran's military power.
In the past, Israel indeed had a "use of force" threshold regarding the Iranian nuclear issue, but the missile issue is very complicated, and Israel has never revealed its "use of force" threshold on this issue, such as how many missiles in Iran's inventory or how many missiles produced annually would lead Israel to directly launch an attack.
Israeli sources also said: Recently, they have been intensively discussing the issue of Iran's missiles with the United States. In Israel's view, now is a "historic opportunity" to dismantle Iran's missile capabilities, but they are worried that even if Trump orders an attack, it may not completely eliminate Iran's missile capabilities. Trump himself would only take limited strikes, and possibly he would get tired after a few attacks and immediately declare "a major victory".
Just like last year's strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, Trump stopped after one strike and instead insisted that Iran's nuclear capability was completely destroyed. When attacking the Houthi rebels, Trump stopped after a month and immediately talked peace with the Houthi rebels, boasting of a big victory, and the final result was still "treating the symptoms, not the cause".
