Israel signals readiness to back US Iran strikes if asked, raising regional risk

Israeli officials say Jerusalem would stand by the US if Washington asks for help striking Iran again, with sources noting Israel is prepared to act and coordinate closely with the US. Netanyahu’s government has been involved since the outset of recent strikes, the IDF is on high alert and updating targets, and Israeli analysts emphasize self‑defense while warning of potential broader conflict in the region as US-Iran tensions escalate after the cease-fire drama.
