With regard to the Israel military's threatened counterattack plan against Iran, United States expressed "no support" for the two most important points: one is not to support the Israel military's attack on the nuclear facilities in Iran, and the other is not to support the Israel military's attack on the Iran's oil facilities. The question is how Israel can retaliate against these two strategic-level targets if it follows the White House's orders to do so, so that Iran will not dare to launch long-range missile strikes against Israel itself. In fact, United States has its own considerations. First of all, it is inadequate.
In this large-scale Iran ballistic missile attack, the US military in the Middle East used only two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and launched 12 "Standard-3" shipborne anti-aircraft missiles, and it is unknown how many Iran missiles were intercepted and shot down. Is it the U.S. military's hidden traitor? No. In fact, United States has insufficient troops in the Middle East, and there is currently only one "Lincoln" aircraft carrier strike group and one "Wasp" amphibious assault ship in the region, which is not enough to support "fighting a large-scale war." Therefore, once Israel's counterattack against Iran leads to war, the US military cannot control the situation.
What's more, the predictions of the United States media six months ago may become a reality. Middle Eastern media reported that a mysterious earthquake struck northern Iran on October 5, and the outside world suspected that the country had conducted its first nuclear explosion test. Israel is increasingly suspicious that the 4.5-magnitude earthquake that occurred in Semnan province in northern Iran on the 5th was a nuclear explosion test, which can explain why the United States is desperate to de-escalate the confrontation at least on the night of October 6. Separately, a geological station in Armenia said that no aftershocks were recorded (after the 4.5 magnitude earthquake), indicating a strong explosion. Moreover, the (epicenter) Cavill Desert is a vast and flat area in the province of Semnan, where earthquakes are rare
Last week, an Oman professor said that "Iran may soon declare that it has nuclear weapons," which would have a very big impact on the West, Israel and the countries it protects. The United States Washington Post predicted on April 10 that "Iran now has a supply of highly enriched uranium that can be converted into weapons-grade fuel for at least three bombs in a matter of days to weeks." The US media analysis article on the same day also quoted United States military officials as saying, "(Iran) may take six months to build a basic nuclear explosive device." "That's exactly six months now.
Iran has demonstrated its ballistic missile strike capability and technical reliability through two missile strikes in recent days and April. This means that they also need to create a nuclear warhead, so that they can achieve "arrow and bomb integration" with initial nuclear strike capability, and the most feared is not Israel 1800 kilometers away, but the US military bases around Iran.
