Senior defense experts from the JISS analyze the unprecedented Israeli -American military cooperation and examine multiple future war scenarios.
The joint American-Israeli campaign against Iran represents an unprecedented level of military integration. It is aimed at fundamentally transforming the strategic reality of the Middle East while neutralizing the Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile threats, several former Israeli defense officials and analysts said Thursday.
Speaking during a webinar hosted by the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security (JISS), Col. (ret.) Dr. Eran Lerman, vice president of JISS and former deputy director for foreign policy and international affairs at the National Security Council, emphasized the historic nature of the allied offensive.
“Never before in our history—and we’ve been working in alignment with the United States—did we actually work in combined operations mode, something that the last reminiscent [case] is of the British and the Americans in Normandy [in World War II],” Lerman stated.
