CBS added that two months later, support for Israeli attacks began to be discussed at high levels within the US military and intelligence services.
“American considerations focused less on whether Israel could take action and more on how the United States could help, including providing air fuel for Israeli planes and the delicate issue of obtaining overflight approval from countries along a potential attack route,” the television station reported. So far, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have said they will not allow their airspace to be used to attack Iran.
On Friday, President Trump said that Iran was causing difficulties in talks and said that regime change in Tehran would be the best solution to the problem. The West fears that Iran is seeking to produce nuclear weapons.
