Israeli President Herzog insists ‘we are not dragging’ US into war with Iran following strikes

Published June 22, 2025 10:33am ET



Israeli President Isaac Herzog said Sunday that Israel is not pressuring the United States to escalate its military involvement in the conflict with Iran, pushing back on fears that the U.S. is being dragged into another Middle East war.

Speaking on CNN’s State of the Union, Herzog directly addressed U.S. concerns about the expanding war effort following President Donald Trump’s decision to bomb multiple Iranian nuclear sites in what the Joint Chiefs of Staff called the “largest B-2 operational strike in U.S. history.”
