Unique window of opportunity has opened up for Israel: With Donald Trump's backing will Benjamin Netanyahu strike Iran's nuclear facilities?

US President-elect Donald Trump with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu
Benjamin Netanyahu may be counting on Donald Trump's support when it comes to attacking Iran's nuclear facilities and establishments, according to reports. This may be the next agenda on Netanyahu's list after the Israeli air force and navy reportedly destroyed 80% if the military establishments of the Syrian military, after Bashar Al-Assad' regime collapsed, and insurgents took over Damascus.

Is Israel considering destroying Iran's nuclear projects?

Israel has been voicing their opinions strongly about Iran's nuclear projects, which are reportedly backed by Russia. Trump, although, is quite a diplomatic leader, and does not believe much into long-drawn conflicts, and has even been advocating for the resolution of the Ukraine and Russia conflict through diplomatic talks. Therefore, it is still not known what Trump's exact stand is going to be on attacking Iran's nuclear facilities by Israel, when he takes over the reigns from Joe Biden at the start of the coming year.

Will Trump support Netanyahu, even when Biden hasn't?

Netanyahu, for a long time, has been trying hard to get the US' attention to Iran's nuclear facilities and projects, but has been halted at every turn, not only by the White House, but his own colleagues and military officials.


The recent disturbances across Iran and Syria may now have opened the window of opportunity for Israel to take charge and begin an onslaught at Iran's nuclear projects, but with Trump coming to power in a couple of months, it is understandable that Israel may want to take him into confidence before striking the blows.
