US EditionTrump and Netanyahu have formed a convenient coalition. But clear divisions are emerging
- Publicly, Trump and Netanyahu presented a united front last week, but Tulsi Gabbard said their goals for attacking Iran differ.
- Driven by Israel's pursuit of regime change, national priorities and rules of engagement shape targeting choices and risk tolerance, leading to divergent strategic aims between Israel and the U.S.
- Israel prioritized targeting Iran's leadership while the United States concentrated on missile and naval threats, and Israel struck energy sites like the South Pars gas field, showing restraint on other infrastructure as preferred by Washington.
- Even Washington's traditional allies have provided little beyond rhetorical backing, and outside the 'coalition of two' there is scant support as the American public remains divided on the war.
- Commentary notes the pragmatic role-splitting where Israel carries out political assassinations while Washington focuses on military targeting, a division that suits both but may affect coalition cohesion, analysts say.
