Israel’s Kan network reports that Tel Aviv is pushing the United States to prepare for a comprehensive military strike against the Islamic Republic.
Israeli officials believe that if Donald Trump’s goal is to topple the Iranian regime, the current US military posture in the region is insufficient and a long-term campaign is required.
Reports suggest Trump has not ruled out the military option, though his final decision depends on ongoing talks with Tehran.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu recently asked Trump in a phone call to postpone any attack plans to allow for necessary preparations.
A major concern for Israel is the state of its missile defense systems, which were heavily used in recent conflicts.
Military officials warn that the collapse of the Islamic Republic would not be possible without full-scale US support and extensive operations.
