US' dangerous game: After Russia & China distance, is Trump abandoning Israel to Iran's fury?

The United States has reportedly signaled quiet support for potential Israeli strikes on Iran if ongoing nuclear talks collapse, according to CBS News. Sources say President Donald Trump warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in December that military action remains on the table, even as diplomacy continues. Any strike would likely require access to Gulf airspace, but several Arab states have indicated they will refuse to allow their skies to be used for an attack on Iran, potentially crippling Israel’s operational routes. The disclosure comes as Iran’s foreign minister travels to Geneva for a second round of U.S.-Iran negotiations, with Tehran rejecting limits on enrichment and refusing to discuss missile restrictions. Israel fears a narrow deal could legitimize Iran’s missile program while tensions rise across the Middle East.
