() Author and host of podcast “The Mossad Files” Dan Raviv said that while the Israelis are not expecting the United States to step into their conflict with Iran, they would welcome the involvement.

“It would be quicker if the U.S. would bomb the facility, but they are not counting on that,” Raviv said Friday on ‘s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports.” “However, they would love for the U.S. to be involved in this war to help make the case that Iran is a country that wasn’t just working on developing nuclear weapons, but it’s tried to spread its Shiite Islamic throughout the area and support terrorist groups.”

President Donald Trump told reporters Friday that Israel had a “very limited capacity” to take out Iran’s foremost nuclear facility, seemingly disputing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claims that the country would be able to do so.

Raviv said Netanyahu would not have started the war if he thought he would later need to depend on Trump to get the bunker bombs to take out the Fordow nuclear facility. He said Israel was capable of carrying out a large-scale attack on its own, similar to a successfully conducted one in Syria in September of 2024.

“I think they could do it again,” Raviv said.

The conflict between the two nations has entered a second week. Trump has stated that Iran has two weeks to decide whether to negotiate a nuclear deal, but he remains open to some form of diplomacy in the matter.

Trump has also said Iran was “weeks away” from being able to have a nuclear weapon despite other intelligence agencies saying Iran was months or a year away from being able to build a nuclear weapon.
