Former President Trump warned Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu that Israel could face Iran alone, leading to a reduction in planned large-scale strikes. Israel instead targeted an Iranian petrochemical facility, while US military assisted in intercepting Iranian missiles.
According to Axios, former President Donald Trump warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel risked fighting Iran without US support if it proceeded with large-scale strikes against Iranian targets. This persuasion prompted Israel to scale back its planned offensive.
Instead of a major attack, Israel struck an Iranian petrochemical facility. Simultaneously, the US military helped intercept Iranian missiles, indicating continued coordination despite the scaled-back operation.
