The Wall Street Journal reports, citing unnamed US officials, that Israel provided President Trump with partial intelligence information that could lead to the renewal of conflict with Iran. The report follows earlier claims that Israel was attempting to shape US policy through intelligence sharing.
The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday evening, citing unnamed US administration officials, that Israel provided President Trump with partial intelligence information that could lead to the renewal of war with Iran. The report adds a new dimension to earlier claims that Israel was sharing intelligence to influence the president's decisions. At 20:31 Jerusalem time, The Zioneer reported a WSJ article citing US officials saying Israel was using intelligence to drag the US into a regional conflict. The current report shifts the focus to the quality of the intelligence — described as 'partial' — and its potential to reignite hostilities. The claims remain unverified and have not been officially confirmed by Washington or Jerusalem. The development comes amid ongoing tensions between the US and Israel over Iran policy, as Washington seeks to avoid a broader confrontation while Israel has expressed concerns about US concessions to Tehran.
