Israeli officials have claimed that the former U.S. administration led by Donald Trump effectively approved strikes on Iranian targets. They assert that while the then-president publicly showed restraint and avoided openly endorsing military actions, he privately conveyed agreement with Tel Aviv’s initiatives in discussions with Israeli representatives. According to information provided by Axios, this involved informal approval of Israeli attacks on facilities related to Iran’s nuclear program.

Israeli representatives clarified that such support did not come in the form of official documents or statements but rather as political consent at a high level. Military and intelligence cooperation between the two countries continued throughout Trump’s presidency, including information sharing and coordination across multiple fronts. The claims of approval for strikes on Iran come amid escalating tensions in the region and recent reports of Israeli intelligence activity inside Iranian territory.

It is noted that during the specified period, Iran had intensified the development of its nuclear program, raising concerns among several Western countries, including the U.S. and Israel. Israel viewed the strikes as a preemptive measure aimed at limiting Iran’s technological capabilities in uranium enrichment. At the same time, the White House publicly called for restraint and political resolution of the issues surrounding Iran’s program.

The Israeli statements come amid ongoing escalation between Iran and Israel, as well as Iran’s increased diplomatic activity on the international stage. Recent attacks attributed to Israel have sparked discussions about the potential involvement and support of third-party countries, including the United States. In this context, the claims of presidential approval take on special significance in the international arena.

In light of these statements, a response from the current U.S. administration is expected, which has previously emphasized its commitment to de-escalation and diplomatic solutions to conflicts. However, due to the unofficial nature of the claims, no direct confirmation has been provided. Nonetheless, such information may affect current international relations and perceptions of the U.S. role in Middle Eastern politics.

The situation remains tense. Iran continues to assert its right to develop a peaceful nuclear program, while Israel views it as a potential threat to national security. Mutual accusations and military actions in recent months have heightened global concern, prompting calls for restraint and adherence to international norms.
