United States President Donald Trump told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during their meeting in Florida in December that he would support Israeli strikes on Iran’s ballistic missile program if the US and Iran could not reach a deal, CBS News reported on Sunday, citing two sources familiar with the matter.
According to the report, renewed internal discussions among US military and intelligence officials are focused on how the US would help Israeli forces in the case Israel conducted a new round of strikes against the Iranian regime.
Examples of US assistance could include providing the IDF with aerial refueling or securing airspace permissions from countries along the potential route aircraft would take to strike, CBS cited two additional US officials as saying.
Thus far, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia have explicitly stated that they would not permit the use of their airspace for strikes.
The internal talks come as the US is actively moving military assets to the region.
The USS Gerald R. Ford, a US aircraft carrier, and its accompanying fleet of warships are being redeployed from the Caribbean to the Middle East, four US officials confirmed to CBS, in a move that “would place formidable firepower within range of Iran.”
Further US-Iran negotiations on a possible deal are set to take place in Geneva on Tuesday.
