Israel/Zionism See other Israel/Zionism Articles Title: Middle East War: Next Steps For Israel And Will Iran Blockade The Straits Of Hormuz The United States has partially distanced itself from Israel’s military operation characterising the strikes as a “unilateral action” and emphasising that the United States was “not involved”. It is likely the United States had some degree of foreknowledge of the operation. “Israeli officials said that Netanyahu signed orders authorizing the attack on Monday. He spoke on the phone with Trump that same day,” according to the Washington Post. It seems very likely that the issue was discussed in at least general terms during the call on June 9. In the following days, the United States had taken steps to reduce its exposure to retaliation in the days leading up to the strike by reducing its diplomatic and military footprint in the region. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) also issued an unusually specific warning on June 11 to vessels in the region: “UKMTO has been made aware of increased tensions within the region which could lead to an escalation of military activity having a direct impact on mariners. Vessels are advised to transit the Arabian Gulf, Gulf of Oman and Straits of Hormuz with caution.” Give the extent of intelligence sharing and diplomatic between Israel and the United States and between the United States and the United Kingdom and the other European allies, some degree of foreknowledge is very likely. The diplomatic moves and vessel warnings strongly indicate the United States had significant prior knowledge of the operation even if Israel did not share precise about the timing or specific targets and operations plan. It is unlikely Israel formally requested U.S. support or the United States formally gave the greenlight to the operation to enable the United States to maintain some plausible deniability. But Israel will only have felt confident to proceed if it believed the United States and its European allies would eventually, tacitly and retrospectively support the operation, especially by taking steps to constrain Iran’s retaliation.
