Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to ask President Trump to support another US-Israeli war on Iran, according to an NBC News report from Saturday. The Israeli PM is expected to make the case during a December 29 meeting at Mar-a-Lago.
The report said that Netanyahu will stress Israel's concern over Iran's production of ballistic missiles and will present Trump with options for the US to join or assist Israel with an attack on Iran. Israeli officials are also warning that Iran is reconstituting its nuclear sites that were bombed by the US during the war in June, but that was not their immediate concern.
According to a report from Israel Hayom, Israeli officials are preparing an "intelligence dossier" on Iran to present to Trump. Netanyahu's office has said the meeting will take place on December 29, though President Trump suggested last week that it wasn't finalized, saying, "We haven't set it up formally, but he'd like to see me."
Trita Parsi, Executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, has been warning that another war with Iran was likely since Israel didn't achieve all of its goals during its previous attack on the country, pointing to the fact that Iran's missile strikes forced Israel to agree to a ceasefire quickly.
