Tel Aviv: Israel has reportedly asked the United States to join its newly launched military campaign against Iran, according to a report by Axios on Sunday. According to Anadolu Agency, the request stems from Israel's inability to destroy Iran's Fordow uranium enrichment site, which is heavily fortified and located deep within a mountain. Israel is seeking US assistance to target the site effectively, as it lacks the necessary capability to do so independently. A US official confirmed to Axios that Israel had indeed approached Washington for support in the military operation. However, the official noted that the current administration is not considering joining the campaign. The report also mentions that US President Donald Trump had suggested possible US involvement during recent discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, though this claim was later denied by a White House official. Despite these developments, Washington has maintained that Israel acted independently in its recent militar y actions against Iran. The situation continues to evolve as diplomatic and military strategies are weighed by both nations.
