Part of article below, but the rest is paywalled (that must be where they point out the illegality of Israel’s attack, and of attacking nuclear facilities, and that the same applies to the US

Sigh. Longs for the days when warmonger propaganda was free…

Forced to Wait for Trump, Israel Faces Strategic Dilemma in Iran
The Israeli military needs American help to destroy a key nuclear site in Iran. Waiting for that help comes with risks for Israel.

President Trump’s deferral of a decision on whether to launch an American attack on Iran has left Israel in a strategic bind.
Israel’s main remaining war goal is to wipe out a nuclear enrichment site at Fordo in northern Iran, which is buried so deep underground that Israeli bombs will struggle to damage it.
For days, Israeli officials hoped that Mr. Trump would send American warplanes armed with the only munitions in the world that are deemed powerful enough to destroy Fordo.
Now, Mr. Trump says he will wait up to two weeks before deciding whether to make such an intervention — a delay that imposes a dilemma on Israel.
The longer Israel waits for Mr. Trump, the greater the strain on its air defense system. To keep out Iran’s ballistic missile barrages, Israel is burning through its stocks of missile interceptors, forcing it to prioritize the protection of some areas over others. As time goes on, that raises the risk of more missiles hitting both civilian neighborhoods and strategic security sites.
With Israel’s airspace closed and much of its economic life suspended, the war’s protraction will also come at an economic cost. The sooner the war ends, the faster commercial flights will return and businesses can resume full operations.
