Svmuu News: According to Politico, two sources familiar with the matter revealed that senior advisors to Donald Trump. are more inclined to have Israel take the lead in military action before the U.S. launches an attack on Iran.These administration officials have privately argued that an Israeli strike would provoke a retaliatory response from Iran, thereby helping to build support among American voters for a U.S. military strike.Recent polls show that Americans—especially Republicans—support regime change in Iran but are unwilling to risk U.S. casualties to achieve it. This means that, in addition to reasons such as Iran’s nuclear program, the Donald Trump team is also considering how an attack would be perceived by the public. One source stated: “There is a view within and outside the government that if the Israelis act first on their own and the Iranians retaliate against us afterward, it would be much better politically, as it would give us more justification for action.” Although the U.S. hopes Israel will act first, two sources familiar with the matter said the most likely scenario remains a joint U.S.-Israeli operation.
