U.S. Media: The Trump Administration Does Not Want Israel to Intervene in U.S. Strikes Against Iran
On July 10, Xinhua News Agency reported from Washington (reporters Huang Qiang and Xu Jianmei) that, according to two Israeli sources cited by CNN on the 10th, the Trump administration does not want Israel to intervene in the U.S. military strikes against Iran, fearing that this could lead to a loss of control over the situation.
The sources said that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu "is very eager to join the U.S. strike operations, but the U.S. currently does not want Israel to get involved." Israeli officials generally believe that President Trump does not wish to restart full-scale hostilities, and the most he might be willing to do is to restore a maritime blockade against Iran.
On the 10th, Israel's public broadcasting company reported that Israel has indicated to the U.S. that it is willing to participate in further military actions against Iran and is currently waiting for Trump to make a decision.
On the 7th and 8th, the U.S. military launched strikes against Iran for two consecutive days, citing the need to respond to recent Iranian attacks on commercial vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran launched missile and drone attacks on U.S. facilities in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Jordan.
