Revealed: Israel Coordinated Airstrikes to Enable U.S. Attack on Fordow Nuclear Site

In a highly coordinated military maneuver, Israeli and American forces conducted joint operations targeting Iran’s defense infrastructure ahead of a U.S. airstrike on Iran’s underground Fordow nuclear facility. The sequence of events, carried out last week, involved Israeli Air Force (IAF) precision strikes aimed at neutralizing Iranian air defense systems in southern Iran, actions that directly enabled the U.S. military to execute its mission with reduced risk.

According to officials familiar with the operation, the Israeli strikes occurred within a critical 48-hour window before American B-2 stealth bombers launched their deep-penetration assault on the fortified Fordow site. The mission was initiated following a request from U.S. President Donald Trump, who asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu how Israel could assist in ensuring the success and safety of the American operation. Israel responded swiftly, deploying advanced aircraft to dismantle radar and missile batteries near the target zone.

Defense Minister Israel Katz and Prime Minister Netanyahu reportedly held real-time strategic discussions with U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, finalizing operational details and intelligence sharing just days before the strike. The collaboration was described by both sides as unprecedented in its precision and unity of purpose.

“The coordination between the U.S. and Israel in this action was like a well-oiled machine,” one Israeli official said. “We cleared the way so the Americans could carry out a clean hit.” President Trump echoed this sentiment in a national address, saying: “We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before.”

While Israel remains cautious about escalating the conflict, officials say Iran’s continued refusal to enter diplomatic talks limited options. In the aftermath of the strike, Trump communicated to Netanyahu that the U.S. remains open to dialogue with Tehran, but stands fully prepared for any form of retaliation.

Tensions remain high as both Israeli and U.S. defense establishments await an Iranian response. "We don’t yet know how Iran will react," an Israeli source warned. “But the message was clear, we will not allow Fordow to operate with impunity.”
