In addition to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other Gulf states, Israel was also not prepared for strikes against Iran, particularly without a substantial U.S. naval presence.

Trump twice on Wednesday to urge him not to proceed with strikes, citing Israel’s lack of full defensive readiness, according to a source close to the White House cited by The Washington Post.
