After Iran launched ballistic missiles at Israel, former President Trump communicated with journalists, indicating he would contact Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to advise against retaliation. This was seen as an effort to maintain delicate diplomatic relations with Tehran. Shortly after, Israel conducted airstrikes on Iran, targeting air defenses and a petrochemical facility. While some narratives suggest Netanyahu acted against Trump's wishes, it is likely that the Israeli government coordinated with the U.S. military, which has a significant presence in the region. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that there was 'full coordination' with U.S. Central Command during the airstrikes, and U.S. military personnel assisted in intercepting missiles launched by Iran.
