- •Discussions are underway within US military and intelligence agencies on how America could assist Israel in such an attack, focusing on cooperation rather than direct US involvement.
- •Potential US assistance includes in-air refueling for Israeli fighter jets, though airspace access through countries like Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and UAE remains a challenge.

- •Netanyahu demands any deal with Iran address its missile program and proxy funding, while Iran seeks sanction relief for reduced uranium enrichment.
