Reza Arab, a political analyst, referring to the words of Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, who said that probably only Trump and Netanyahu know about the upcoming decisions, said that this is not a serious sign of disagreement between the two. He pointed to the close military cooperation between the US and Israel and said that announcing the date of the attack would eliminate the element of surprise. Arab added that the Islamic Republic's failure to obtain an atomic bomb does not stem from a religious fatwa, but rather that Israel and the US prevented its progress in this direction, and the desire to acquire atomic weapons was part of the Islamic Republic's political goals in the past.
