The U.S. is considering joining Israel’s military campaign against Iran, with President Donald Trump expected to make the final decision. CENTCOM supports involvement, but senior officials are divided on the move.
Israel has requested U.S. assistance in its military campaign against Iran, specifically targeting the Fordow uranium enrichment site. The underground facility, deeply fortified within a mountain, is beyond the reach of Israel’s conventional weapons. U.S. forces in the region, however, possess the necessary bunker-busting bombs and bomber aircraft to strike the site effectively.
While U.S. CENTCOM supports potential involvement, senior officials remain divided. Sources suggest that President Trump might greenlight participation if deemed necessary, following talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. However, a White House official has denied claims of imminent U.S. involvement on 13 June, reiterating that Israel has acted independently in its recent operations.
