Israel, for now, stays out of US strikes on Iran

As the United States concluded its third major round of strikes against Iran over as many days, Israel was notably absent.

The status of the U.S.-Iran deal is more uncertain than ever, with President Donald Trump declaring it “over” on Wednesday and three major waves of U.S. strikes being met with drone and missile attacks against Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Jordan. However, Iranian authorities have still appealed to the document and haven’t declared it dead in turn. The most sure sign that full-on war hasn’t resumed, however, is Israel’s absence from the most recent strikes.
