• Israel's leadership is pressing the U.S. for immediate action against Iran's nuclear project.
• Disagreements within the Trump administration may affect military involvement in the conflict.
• Israeli officials express urgency, fearing a missed opportunity to act against Iran's Fordow facility.
• The possibility of an Israeli solo military operation is increasing, despite risks involved.
• U.S. military assets are being relocated, potentially signaling involvement in future strikes.

Israeli officials have conveyed to the Trump administration their impatience with a two-week timeline set for negotiations regarding Iran’s nuclear program, indicating they may act independently of U.S. support. The tense communication occurred during a phone call with key Israeli figures, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, amidst a split within the U.S. administration on whether to engage in the conflict, according to Reuters, HuffPost, and Channel News Asia.

Israeli officials believe that they have a limited timeframe to target the Fordow facility, a heavily fortified site crucial to Iran's nuclear ambitions. The U.S. possesses the only munitions capable of penetrating such a fortified site—specifically, the Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs. Reports indicate that the U.S. is moving B-2 bombers to Guam, which could signify a readiness to offer military support if needed, according to Reuters and Channel News Asia.

During the aforementioned call, Vice President JD Vance expressed concerns about direct U.S. involvement, suggesting Israel's actions could entangle the U.S. in another Middle Eastern conflict. This division reflects a broader debate within Trump's political base about military engagement in Iran, with some Republican leaders advocating for support of Israel's initiatives, while others caution against entanglement, as noted by Reuters, HuffPost, and Channel News Asia.

Analysts suggest that Israel may be leaning toward a solo military operation against Fordow, given its air superiority and the perceived immediacy of action. Such an operation would likely focus on damaging rather than completely destroying the site's capabilities, potentially involving special forces, according to military sources. The risks remain high, yet the urgency is palpable among Israeli officials who feel time is of the essence, according to HuffPost, Reuters, and Channel News Asia.
