A senior fellow at the Jerusalem Center for Foreign Policy and Security, Yoni Ben-Menachem, has suggested that Israel may need to take independent military action against Iran if diplomatic efforts and U.S. strategy remain indecisive. Ben-Menachem analyzed the situation following recent U.S. strikes on Iran and Tehran's retaliatory actions in Bahrain. He noted significant internal disagreements within the Trump administration regarding Iran policy, leading to a delay in formulating a clear strategy.
According to Ben-Menachem, three distinct approaches are being debated in the White House: continuing diplomatic negotiations, launching a full-scale military operation, or imposing a strict economic, maritime, and land blockade to gradually weaken the Iranian regime. President Trump is reportedly navigating these conflicting viewpoints, which is prolonging the decision-making process. Ben-Menachem believes this period of uncertainty in Washington could last for some time.
Two primary factors are hindering President Trump from escalating militarily: the Democrats' success in the midterm elections and growing public pressure in the U.S. against large-scale wars. In this context, Ben-Menachem warned that Jerusalem cannot indefinitely rely on allied protection. He stated, "Ultimately, Israel will have to decide to attack Iran alone."
This potential necessity for independent action is linked to Iran's directive from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei to resume nuclear development and accelerate ballistic missile production. Citing Israeli intelligence, Ben-Menachem reported that Iran is currently producing 50 ballistic missiles monthly, with an arsenal totaling 1,700 units, a number that is increasing daily. He emphasized, "The sooner Israel strikes, the more it can delay these processes."
Ben-Menachem also indicated that Israel's internal political situation, regardless of whether the current government led by Benjamin Netanyahu or a new one is in power, will not alter this strategic imperative. He concluded, "If Trump continues to pursue this indecisive policy, and meanwhile they make progress in the nuclear program and the creation of ballistic missiles, we must stop these processes. There will be no other choice."
