US administration officials have voiced concern that Israel might take steps that would increase tensions with Iran, at a time when Washington is trying to prevent the situation from escalating into a broader confrontation, according to reports.
The concern, reported Friday evening, reflects Washington's intensifying effort to prevent a broader regional escalation. The Zioneer reported earlier Friday that Israeli officials confirmed the US had asked Israel not to join the ongoing conflict with Iran, and that the Trump administration opposes Israeli involvement. The latest expression of concern comes as the US pursues a nuclear deal with Tehran, a framework that Israeli officials have criticized as flawed and potentially dangerous to Israel's security.
