This seems malicious. How would the anonymous Israeli know? And how could it possibly benefit Israel to share this information to the Brits, who are currently hostile to both Israel and the Trump government? [IsraelTimes] An Israeli intelligence official tells the UK’s Financial Times that Israel believes that, despite assembling a massive military force in the region, including two aircraft carriers, the US only has the capacity to sustain four or five days of intense aerial assault on Iran.
The official says the force could maintain a week of lower-intensity strikes.
Israel is said to be fearful that limited US strikes on Iran could only embolden the regime.
