US weighing indirect support for Israeli attack on Iran nuclear sites - CBS

The United States is considering ways to provide military support for an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear sites without taking a lead role, CBS News reported citing a US official and a source familiar with the matter.

The plans could include intelligence sharing or aerial refueling, but CBS News cited the US official as saying they were unaware of any commitment yet.

CBS news cited the source familiar with the coordination that Washington was unlikely to commit heavy bombers which Israel lacks and some analysts have said are necessary to penetrate Iran's nuclear infrastructure deep underground.
