The U.S. Demanded That Israel Conduct A Unilateral Strike Against Iran: Report
The report said the White House later dropped the request as polls showed 52-seat races in Israel and low approval for Trump’s Iran policy.
- On Saturday, reports revealed the United States pressed Israel to conduct a solo military strike against Iran during discussions between the two nations over the past two weeks, though the U.S. has since backed down from this demand.
- Washington reportedly sought to shield President Donald Trump from political fallout before November midterm elections, instead attempting to convince Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that an attack would serve his interests before Israel's October 27 legislative elections.
- Israeli Defense Forces Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir warned that such an operation would require postponing the October 27 elections, a critical constraint given recent polls showing ruling and opposition blocs tied at 52 seats.
- Throughout the past week, Netanyahu's schedule remained "very security-focused" with several "sensitive" meetings, though his specific position regarding the alleged American demands remains unclear.
- Trump stated Thursday that "productive discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran" mean the U.S. will avoid attacks before the midterms, even as two-thirds of Americans surveyed by the Pew Research Center disapprove of his handling of the conflict.
