Should the US join Israel in bombing Iran?

[Rocko]

No. However if they attack us we should retaliate.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Israel is doing exactly what they said they'd do if Iran got close to obtaining a nuclear weapon

 

[GLASNOST]

Iran has virtually no air defense now. Their Regime is teetering on collapse ....

Russia (and maybe China) owe them a few favours.

 

[eagle1462010]

Iran through proxies has attacked Israel and us for a long time. They have been a pain in the ass forever.

No issues hitting them while their proxies fire at our ships

Israel doesn't need us.

Without the earlier aid of Nazi Germany and the ability of Israeli lobbies to extort $ Trillions from working Americans, your "Israelis" would be living in mud huts with only sticks and stones for defense:

Probably true. Exagerrated but true I'm sure.

No, I'm not.

Not a single US soldier has fought alongside an Israeli soldier in any conflict since the formation of Israel in 1948. They can defend themselves.

Should the US join Israel in bombing Iran?​

I don't know what else we could do except fly the planes and fire hellfire missiles ourselves. We may be even doing that now.

They aren't using hellfire missiles. Hellfire missiles are not fired from fighter jets. Only one attack jet carries them, the A-10, and Israel doesn't use those. They are too slow to be safely fired from a fighter jet.

Exclusive: US quietly sent hundreds of Hellfire missiles to Israel before Iran attack

Hellfire missiles would have been used for precision strikes by Israel during Iran attack, US officials say

Israel made the request but it was rejected by the Trump Administration..for now.

I agree with Trump’s decision.

This is not an American fight.

War is no longer practical and it never was productive. We should continually reduce our military and the cost it weighs upon US. Any future war won't involve troops , it will involve more and more complex and dangerous weapons. That's why it should be avoided at all costs.

For now I agree, but if the IDF cannot find a workaround to destroy Fordow and other Iranian nuclear assets buried deep, then if the US is serious about preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, it may have to use its 30,000 lb bunker busters to destroy these sites and end the Iranian nuclear weapons program. Israel does not have planes capable of delivering these weapons, so it would have to be the US.

 

[JWBooth]

Israel is doing exactly what they said they'd do if Iran got close to obtaining a nuclear weapon

“The IC [Intelligence Community] continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamanei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003.

The IC is monitoring if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program.” - Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, 25 March 2025

 

[JLW]

Trump said a few hours ago he was not ruling out further US involvement in the War.

I don't believe that Israel would have attacked Iran if Trump had not given his consent, despite what Netanyahu and Trump say to the contrary. The US is already knee deep in it anyway.

This is Trump's War, and I hope he can contain it.

Trump says 'it's possible' US gets involved in Israel-Iran conflict

President Donald Trump said Sunday that the U.S. is not involved in Israel's military strikes, but "it's possible we could get involved."

Wouldn't bombing a nuclear facility release radiation into the atmosphere.

The actual quote is "

The IC is monitoring if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program.” - Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard"

which means that's what Tulsi's assessment is, but if true, why is Iran stockpiling 60% enriched uranium, which has no purpose other than to build nuclear weapons? It may be Iran is not currently building nuclear weapons, but it is certainly threatening to build them, so a more useful assessment would be how long would it take Iran to build nukes and how quickly could it turn them out if it carried out its threats to build them?

While Iran is able to enrich uranium, it has an effective nuclear threat to ward of interference in the many wars it is organizing and funding in the ME.

There's no need for the US to attack Iran. The IDF is currently putting the boots to the Mullahs.
