Israel's operation against Iran is expected to take "weeks, not days." In addition, it is moving forward with the tacit approval of the United States.
CNN reported this, citing White House and Israeli officials.
Thus, an Israeli official in an interview with CNN said that the administration of US President Donald Trump did not criticize the one-week deadline in private conversations.
In addition, a White House representative said that the administration is aware of Israel's plans and implicitly supports them. When asked how long the conflict could last, the official replied that it depends on Iran's reaction.
"The Trump administration firmly this can be solved by continuing negotiations with the US,” the official said, adding that the US was not going to direct Israel to do anything but defend itself," the official said, adding that the United States is not going to force Israel to do anything except defend itself.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, over the past 48 hours, Israel has been asking the administration of US President Donald Trump to join the war with Iran to eliminate its nuclear program.
Recall that on the night of June 13, the Israeli army launched strikes on Iran.
Iran launched a missile attack on Israel in response to the shelling that took place during the day. On the evening of June 13, Iran launched two salvos of surface-to-surface missiles at Israel, hitting less than 100 targets in total. Most were intercepted by air defense systems.
After Israel's attacks on a key uranium enrichment facility in Iran's Natanz (Isfahan province), there was a release of radiation inside the facility - in the form of alpha particles, said Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
