🇺🇸📞🇮🇱❌🇮🇷 — Trump Prevented Israeli Attack on Iran.
➡️Israel and the United States jointly planned a large-scale attack on Iranian nuclear sites—including a commando operation and a prolonged airstrike option—as early as May of this year.
➡️Trump shelved the plan, fearing a regional war, preferring to try a diplomatic move against Tehran.
➡️There was disagreement within the US administration—CENTCOM commander Kurilla supported the attack, while other senior officials, including Trump's deputy, opposed it.
➡️Netanyahu traveled to Washington to try to convince Trump—but failed.
➡️US forces were deployed to the region (aircraft carriers, bombers, Patriot batteries, and the THAAD system) as part of preparations for an attack scenario.
➡️Trump began talks with Iran, but emphasized that if it failed, he might support an attack.
➡️Israel considered switching from a commando attack to an airstrike only, but it needs US support to succeed and deal with the Iranian response.
