The article outlines concerns about Israel possibly engaging in military action against Iran's nuclear program, emphasizing a historical pattern where Israel refrains from such decisions without US backing. Analyst Yossi Melman points out that despite prior preparations for an attack, the highly advanced and well-protected Iranian nuclear infrastructure presents significant challenges. Melman concludes that Netanyahu's risk of unilateral action could lead to severe repercussions, including missile attacks on Israel, especially as the country lacks necessary US military resources like the Massive Ordnance Penetrator to effectively target Iran's deep nuclear facilities.
Israel has approached the brink of war with Iran several times, but has always held back due to the absence of US support, highlighting a repeating pattern.
Yossi Melman notes that without American assistance, any Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear program would be ineffective and lead to dire consequences for Israel.
