Why does Israel want US to get involved in attack on Iran? Experts say it is due to Fordo's..., Israel alone cannot...
New Delhi: In the last 48 hours, Israel has requested the Trump administration to join the war against Iran to end its nuclear programme. Axios news portal on Sunday, 15 June 2025 quoted two Israeli officials as saying that America has been contacted continuously for the last two days. An official said that, if necessary, America can join the conflict. US President Donald Trump had also said the same to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a recent conversation. But, there has been no public response from the Trump administration on these requests of Israel. Why Israel wants America to join the war?
Actually, Israel does not have the bunker buster bombs and large bomber planes required to destroy Iran's Fordo uranium enrichment site. Iran has built underground reactors inside the ground in an area surrounded by hills here. America has bunker buster bombs as well as bomber planes. Not only this, but the whole of Iran is also within the range of these bombers. This is the reason why Israel wants America to also join this conflict and attack Iran. This will also give Israel a sense of security, because Iran will not dare to attack America even by mistake. America's policy on Israeli attack
The Trump administration has so far kept itself away from Israel's operation. America says that it is not involved in Israeli attacks in any way. America fears that Iran can target its military bases in the Middle East. Experts say that attacking Iran directly, even if America's involvement is limited to bombing a single site, will draw it directly into the war. However, if the Fordo plant remains operational even after the operation is over, Israel will fail in its goal of 'ending' Iran's nuclear programme. Will America join Israel?
On Friday, June 13, a White House official denied that the USA was going to get involved in this conflict. A second US official confirmed on Saturday, June 14 that Israel has urged the Trump administration to join the war, but said the administration is not currently considering it. At the same time, an Israeli source said that the USA is considering this request and stressed that Israel hopes Trump will agree to it.

Jammu and Kashmir: Parents of students in Iran demand evacuation
Representative image (AP) SRINAGAR: Parents of students studying in Iran staged a protest Sunday in Srinagar, demanding immediate evacuation as missile exchanges between Israel and Iran entered a third consecutive day. J&K CM Omar Abdullah said his government is in close touch with ministry of external affairs and monitoring the situation in Tehran, Shiraz, Qom, and other affected cities. 'A decision to evacuate, if necessary, will be taken based on the ground situation, with student safety as the top priority,' Abdullah said. 'We will keep everyone informed as the situation develops. As a parent, I assure all families of my government's close and continuous attention to this important developing situation.' According to J&K Students Association (JKSA), more than 1,300 Indian students are stuck in the war in Iran. Many had chosen Iranian universities for their affordability, especially for medical education. JKSA convenor Nasir Khuehami said students are facing increasing insecurity. 'They've reported hearing sirens, feeling tremors, and witnessing heightened military activity,' he said. 'Some are in cities that have already been hit.' National Conference MP Aga Ruhullah said Israeli airstrikes struck Hujat Dost Ali hostel in Tehran, where several Kashmiri students are housed. 'Some have suffered minor injuries,' he said, urging Union government to relocate the students within Iran or evacuate them once the airspace reopens. Dozens of parents gathered at Srinagar's Press Enclave, holding photos of their children and playing voice recordings from students stuck in Iran. 'They are calling us and saying they are in a very tough situation. They need immediate evacuation,' said a woman, whose son is in Tehran. Another parent, whose daughter is studying medicine at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran, shared a message: 'We are constantly living in fear as air attacks are happening every now and then. We either need shelter or evacuation.'
