Israel urges U.S. to join war with Iran but Trump wants to end the war
File: Fordow nuclear facility , IRAN Israel has asked the Trump administration over the past 48 hours to join the war with Iran in order to eliminate its nuclear program, according to two Israeli officials. Israel lacks the bunker buster bombs and large bomber aircraft needed to destroy Iran's Fordow uranium enrichment site, which is built into a mountain and deep underground. The U.S. has both within flying distance of Iran. An Israeli official claimed to Axios that the U.S. might join the operation, and that President Trump even suggested he'd do so if necessary in a recent conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 'The entire operation… really has to be completed with the elimination of Fordow,' Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter told Fox News on Friday.
