The United States has reportedly postponed military action against Iran amid growing concerns within both American and Israeli circles regarding the efficacy and potential consequences of such an operation. Internal deliberations within the White House, as well as consultations with allies, are ongoing to assess the timing and overall impact of a potential strike.
While the military option remains on the table, particularly in light of Iran’s response to ongoing protests, the decision to delay reflects a deep-seated uncertainty within the US administration and among its allies. A key concern revolves around the potential for widespread retaliatory actions from Iran.
Although an imminent strike appears unlikely at this time, sources indicate that the possibility remains a tangible one. “Everyone knows that Trump is ready to push the button,” one US source stated. However, Israeli officials have reportedly expressed reservations in recent days.
Reports suggest that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with President Trump, requesting a delay to allow Israel more time to prepare for a potential Iranian response. The current US plan reportedly involves strikes against Iranian security forces, which Israel deems insufficient to significantly destabilize the Iranian regime.
A source close to Netanyahu indicated that the Israelis believe “Trump has decided to dedicate more time to thinking about the matter.” These developments come as tensions remain high in the region, with the US maintaining a significant military presence.
