Israeli security officials met recently with the U.S. counterparts to discuss the recent escalation between Washington and Tehran and shared sensitive intelligence on Iran, a report on the news site Independent Arabia claimed on Sunday.
According to the report, the Israeli delegation told the American officials that in the case of a full-fledged confrontation between Iran and the United States, Jerusalem would not play an active role and would only join the fighting if it was attacked by Iran or its proxies.
The discussions reportedly focused on ensuring there would be no daylight between the two countries in the case of a military confrontation in the region.
The Israelis, according to the report, also provided classified information on Iran's missile program.
