Wall Street Journal: The White House is unhappy because of the lack of information about Israel’s plan to respond to Iran

According to Isna, official officials say that the Zionist regime has not yet submitted the details of its plan to the Biden government on how to respond to the “Sadegh 2” operation, which was carried out by Iran on October 1 against the occupied territories.

Iran, on October 10 (October 1), during the operation “Sadegh 2” to the aggressive and terrorist actions of the Zionist regime in the assassination and martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, the former head of the political office of Hamas in Tehran, which Iran considered a violation of Iran’s national sovereignty and cross-border terrorism. He responded by assassinating and martyring Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, the former Secretary General of Hezbollah in Lebanon, and General Abbas Nilfroushan, Iran’s senior military adviser in Lebanon during the attacks on the south of this country.

The Wall Street Journal published this article and wrote in a report: American officials are unhappy and angry that they have been repeatedly surprised by Israel’s military actions in Gaza and Lebanon, and they are seeking to prevent the further spread of tensions. Some hoped that the United States would get more information about this during the planned visit of Israeli War Minister Yoaf Gallant to Washington to meet with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin at the Pentagon, but the Pentagon has announced that Gallant will visit Washington on Wednesday. It has been postponed.

Allegations that the American authorities were surprised by the aggressive actions of the Zionist regime in the region are raised while the leaders of the resistance in the region and the Iranian authorities said that these actions are carried out with the green light of the regime’s main ally, which provides it with the most financial, military and diplomatic support.

The Wall Street Journal wrote: An Israeli official said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prevented Gallant from leaving for the United States on Tuesday as he was planning an operation against Iran. US officials say they do not yet know the timing of the attack or its possible targets.

American officials said that after the assassination and martyrdom of Martyr Nasrallah in the Zionist regime’s airstrike in southern Lebanon, Austin said in a phone call: “Excuse me, what did you say?” According to them, during a second call on the same day, Austin asked Gallant if the Zionist regime was ready to defend itself “on its own” given the lack of advance warning.

According to defense officials, Austin was unhappy and angry that the United States did not have enough time to deploy its forces to defend the occupied territories or protect American soldiers near the area.

Considering that the Zionist regime has promised to respond to Iran’s large-scale missile attack on the occupied territories, American officials hope that this time, more than before, they will be aware of an attack that will lead to a wider intervention of the American army.

It is stated in this article: Israel has sometimes acted on America’s recommendations during the past year. America was looking for a more deliberate plan to clear Rafah in southern Gaza, which caused Israel to limit its operations there. The US also convinced Israel not to attack Lebanon’s Hezbollah based on incomplete information that was received a few days after Hamas’ operation “Al-Aqsa Storm” against the occupied territories on October 7.

“Eric Kurila”, the commander of CENTCOM, who is responsible for US operations in West Asia, traveled to the occupied territories and met with Gallant and the top commanders of the Zionist regime on Sunday to warn against an attack on Iran’s nuclear or oil facilities.

Gallant and Austin have even spoken on the phone several times a week for the past year, and are generally on good terms. It is said that Gallant, more than other officials of the Zionist regime, pays attention to the American concerns about the actions of this regime in the Gaza war.

But U.S. officials have not said that Israel has received assurances about being notified of expected strikes against Iran, instead citing repeated conversations between senior officials on both sides, the report said. Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said Tuesday that Austin and Gallant have spoken more than 80 times over the past year.

U.S. officials said Gallant was expected to provide details on the attack plan, including its targets, during a meeting scheduled for Wednesday.

Some officials in Washington hope that the Zionist regime will announce its plan to warn America before any action. An informed source said that Gallant and Austin were supposed to discuss the objectives of the Zionist regime in Lebanon during the meeting on Wednesday. An Israeli official also said: “They can’t talk about some things on the phone.”

Over the past year, the Pentagon has strengthened the presence of its military and weapons in the region under the pretext of defending the occupied territories and American interests. Currently, two aircraft carriers, an amphibious assault ship, destroyers and additional squadrons of fighters are stationed near the occupied territories.

The Wall Street Journal wrote in the end: Israel’s attacks may have consequences for Washington’s electoral approaches despite the upcoming presidential election on November 5, 2024. Oil prices rose last week after US President Joe Biden said US officials were considering supporting an Israeli attack on Iran’s oil facilities. A day later, President Biden said at a White House press conference that Israel should refrain from attacking Iran’s oil facilities.
