Strategic Alliance and Message to Iran
The public statement marks an explicit alignment between Tel Aviv and Washington in the current phase of the conflict. Since the onset of hostilities, Israel had been pressing for a hardest US response – and direct attack on Iranian plants can be interpreted as an inflection point.
Netanyahu’s rhetoric reinforces the Israeli strategy of trying to dissuade Iran to advance its nuclear program through military intimidation.
The American attack was confirmed by Trump in official speech on Saturday night. According to the US President, the action aimed to “counteract critical capabilities of the Iranian nuclear program” and “prevent the regime from advancing the atomic bomb.”
