Israel asks US to join strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, officials told Axios
- Israeli officials asked the Trump administration on June 14 to join military operations targeting Iran's fortified Fordow uranium enrichment site.
- Israel made the request because it lacks the bunker-busting weapons and bomber aircraft needed to destroy the deeply buried Fordow facility alone.
- The Fordow site lies deep inside a mountain near Qom, making it resistant to airstrikes, while U.S. forces in the region possess the necessary munitions and aircraft.

- This situation implies U.S. involvement is essential for successfully halting Iran's nuclear program, yet direct engagement risks drawing the U.S. into a broader war with Iran.
