According to Israeli government officials, the recent attack on Iran was approved by Donald Trump, with the assumption that the US would eventually join the conflict. However, as President Trump contemplates his decision, the certainty of US involvement remains uncertain.

Israeli officials claim that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would not have ordered the attack without Trump's support. They emphasize that Trump's preferences were clear and unambiguous.

Trump's involvement in the conflict dates back to a letter he sent to Iran's supreme leader in March, setting a 60-day deadline for Iran to accept constraints on its nuclear program. Netanyahu also adhered to this timeline, delaying the attack until day 61 on Trump's calendar.

Despite initial discouragement from Trump regarding an Israeli attack, he eventually expressed support for the operation once it was underway. The operation involved precise coordination and required swift action to ensure the safety of Israelis behind Iranian lines.

As the conflict progresses, Trump has shifted towards a more militaristic stance, emphasizing the need for Iran to permanently stop enriching uranium. Israeli officials are hopeful that Trump will eventually join the operation, as they await his decision.

Israel has yet to target Iran's most secure enrichment facility, Fordow, and is relying on US involvement to achieve a decisive outcome. Israeli commentators are urging Trump to take action and join the conflict to ensure a successful resolution.
