The Israeli attacks against Iran are expected to unfold over “weeks, not days,” and are proceeding with implicit backing from the United States, according to both Israeli and White House officials.

An Israeli source told CNN that the Trump administration has not raised objections to the extended timeline during private talks. A senior White House official confirmed that Washington is aware of and quietly supports the ongoing aggression.

When asked how long the conflict might last, the official said it largely depends on Iran’s response, noting, “The Trump administration firmly believes this can be solved by continuing negotiations with the US."

The official added that while the US won’t dictate "Israel’s" actions, adding that it supports its so-called "right to self-defense."

Israeli regime urges US to join war on Iran, Axios reports

Over the past 48 hours, "Israel" has urged the Trump administration to join its war effort against Iran to eliminate Tehran’s nuclear program, according to two Israeli officials.

"Israel" lacks the necessary capabilities, such as bunker-busting bombs and long-range bombers, to destroy deeply buried sites like Iran’s Fordow uranium enrichment facility, which is fortified within a mountain. The US, however, possesses these weapons and has them stationed within striking distance.

Despite the repeated requests by the Israeli regime, the Trump administration has so far resisted direct involvement, maintaining that Iran would have no legitimate grounds to retaliate against US targets for an Israeli-led operation.

Officials warned that any American strike on Iranian territory, even a limited one, would effectively drag the US into a full-scale war.

One Israeli official told Axios that President Trump may have suggested a willingness to join the mission during a recent call with Prime Minister Netanyahu. However, a White House official denied that claim, and a second US official confirmed "Israel’s" push for US participation but said the administration is not currently considering it.
