Israel Has Not Briefed U.S. on Iran Retaliation Plans, U.S. Officials Say – NBC, WSJ

Israeli leaders have not briefed the United States on their military response to last week’s ballistic missile attack by Iran, despite American military officials discussing potential support for Israeli retaliation. Two U.S. officials confirmed to NBC that Israel has yet to share details of their plans, even though the U.S. has offered intelligence and possibly airstrikes. The Wall Street Journal reports that senior U.S. officials, including those in the Biden administration, are increasingly frustrated by Israel’s reluctance to share their plans, which has led to repeated instances of the U.S. being caught off guard by Israeli military actions in Gaza and Lebanon.
