The Israeli government will not dare to strike Iran's nuclear infrastructure facilities without direct approval and support from US President Donald Trump.

Axar.az informs, citing TASS, Financial Times (FT) reported this.

In their view, Israel will refrain from military action unless backed by the White House, out of fear of alienating Trump and losing his backing, as well as due to concerns that unilateral strikes on Iran without US involvement would have minimal impact.

Meanwhile, Trump himself is currently focused on pursuing diplomatic solutions to address Iran's nuclear program. According to the newspaper, the US president is not giving in to pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is pushing for more assertive and forceful measures from Washington. According to the newspaper's sources, Netanyahu attempted to persuade Trump to support military strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities even before the presidential inauguration but did not succeed in obtaining the desired outcome.

At the same time, since Trump assumed office, Netanyahu has become more assertive and bold in the Middle East, actively targeting Lebanon, Syria, and the Gaza Strip. However, the Israeli government is aware of the unpredictability of the Trump administration's stance, so diplomats believe it will proceed with caution and avoid provoking Washington through unauthorized actions toward Iran.
