Arab officials say there is strong likelihood US will join Israel in attacking Iran

Three informed Arab officials have told Middle East Eye that there is an increasing likelihood that the United States will "directly" join Israel in attacking Iran, as its widescale bombing campaign enters a fourth day.

The three officials, who spoke to MEE on condition of anonymity, said they were in touch with the White House, and in some cases, mediating between the US and the Islamic Republic to bring about an end to hostilities. 

The officials did not point to any specific intelligence that said Washington would soon enter the fray, but said US President Donald Trump appeared to be moving closer to "backing up" Israel.

"Trump is closer every hour to bringing the US in more directly. Not just in terms of supply," one of the Arab officials told MEE.
