Israel admits it cannot confront Iran after US refusal Following the withdrawal of US support for the conflict with Iran, a former Israeli Defense Ministry official remarked that Israel was not equipped to confront Iran unassisted. According to Al-Mayadeen, Amos Gilad, a former Israeli military figure, expressed that the cessation of hostilities was calamitous for the Israeli administration. He emphasized the challenging prospect of Israel achieving victory in the conflict without backing from the US. Despite the US president denying involvement in Israeli strikes on Iran, Iranian authorities have insisted that these attacks were unfeasible without US assistance, casting doubt on American officials' statements. During this period, Iran's Foreign Minister has urged the US to refrain from intervening in the conflict instigated by Israel.
