Israel assured U.S. it won't strike Iran unless talks fail

Israel has reassured the White House that it won't launch an attack against Iran's nuclear facilities unless President Trump signals negotiations with Iran have failed.

Axar.az informs two Israeli officials with direct knowledge told Axios.

According to paper, Israel conveyed the message of reassurance during a visit to Washington last week by Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, Mossad Director David Barnea and National Security Adviser Tzahi Hanegbi, Israeli officials say.

One official said the Israelis made it clear to their U.S. counterparts that Israel won't surprise the Trump administration with a military strike on Iran.

"We calmed the Americans and told them there is no logic in launching an attack if a good diplomatic solution can be found. This is why we are going to give it a chance and wait with any military action until it is clear that negotiations were exhausted and [White House envoy] Steve Witkoff has given up," a second Israeli official said.

A senior Israeli official said that while the Israel Defense Forces are training all the time for a possible strike against Iran, the U.S. and other countries misread measures the IDF took ahead of strikes against the Houthis in Yemen as preparations for an imminent strike against Iran.
