Israel will go it alone in Iran, if necessary: Ambassador

() Israel’s ambassador to the U.S. says his country remains committed to finishing what it started in Iran last week, even if President Trump does not allow the American military to help take out Iran’s nuclear stronghold in Fordow, which remains intact.

“We are absolutely committed to finding a way to seeing this through so that Iran no longer poses an existential threat to the state of Israel,” Yechiel Leiter told “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” on Wednesday.

Late last week, Israel launched strikes against Iranian sites and top-level military leaders and scientists in a campaign, it said, to end Iran’s nearly realized ambitions to acquire nuclear weapons. Iran responded with missiles, and the two sides have been trading attacks for six days.

Trump distanced himself from Israel’s initial strike but has not ruled out authorizing U.S. military assistance for its ally. Leiter appeared to hold out hope that the president would lend support and that others might side with Israel in the field.

“Obviously, there are a lot of Iranians who are very much in favor of what we’re doing, and there’s all sorts of collaborations going on, all sorts of possibilities,” he said, not elaborating.

Iran has warned the U.S. from getting involved in the conflict.
