This happened yesterday.
As of last night, the answer was still no.
I believe this is the first time in history that Israel was told we weren’t going to fight their wars. I am also not optimistic that the Trump administration or Congress will hold out indefinitely.
“Israel has asked the Trump administration over the past 48 hours to join the war with Iran in order to eliminate its nuclear program, according to two Israeli officials.
The big picture: Israel lacks the bunker buster bombs and large bomber aircraft needed to destroy Iran’s Fordow uranium enrichment site, which is built into a mountain and deep underground. The U.S. has both within flying distance of Iran. …
A White House official denied that on Friday. A second U.S. official confirmed on Saturday that Israel has urged the Trump administration to join the war, but said currently the administration is not considering it. …”
The vibe that I am getting from the Trump administration is that a casus belli is needed.
The Trump administration is willing to go to war with Iran, but the politics of doing it both within Trump’s own base and in the country at large are so dicey that we need Iran to make the first move.
