U.S. Refuses to Join Israel in Bombing Iran – Axios

The United States has no plans to participate in any joint strikes on Iran alongside Israel, according to the White House.

Axios reports that Israel lacks the bunker-busting munitions required to destroy Iran’s underground nuclear facility at Fordow, which is buried deep in the mountains. Only the U.S. possesses such weapons.

An Israeli official told Axios that “the U.S. could still join the operation,” and even claimed that President Trump had “suggested he might do so if necessary” during recent talks with Netanyahu in the days before the planned Israeli strike.

However, a White House spokesperson denied this, telling Axios that Trump in fact said the opposite. According to the official, Washington currently has no intention of directly participating.
