Report: US Considers Launching Airstrikes Against Iran To Support Israeli Attack
"The US has discussed the idea of supporting Israel’s expected attack on Iran with intelligence or with airstrikes of its own,
NBC News reported on Tuesday, citing two unnamed US officials.
The report said senior US military officials have discussed launching “very limited” airstrikes against Iranian targets inside Iran or outside of the country, though the US officials said intelligence support for Israel was more likely.
So far, no final decision on US action has been made, according to the report, and the US officials said Israel has not briefed the US on its specific plans to strike Iran in response to the Iranian missile barrage that hit Israel last week.
The Israelis are considering several types of targets to hit in Iran: military and intelligence infrastructure, air defenses, and energy facilities. Based on media reports, Israel does not plan to strike Iranian nuclear facilities in its first attack, but could if Iran hits back and the situation turns into a full-blown war,
which Israeli officials think is likely to happen."
------
If they think it is likely to happen and they continue on their path, then it stands to reason that they find this an acceptable outcome. Otherwise they wouldn't be pursuing the current path. So it then stands to reason that it is likely the US is going to be highly involved in another ME conflict.
All those warnings about sleeper cells from various agencies come to mind about now.
