How Israel and the U.S. Coordinate Strikes on Iran
(Ynet News) Elisha Ben Kimon - After Israel-U.S. operations in Iran in June 2025, both militaries reached a key understanding: from Iran's perspective, if either side attacked it, Iran would strike both. That realization led to the conclusion that joint Israeli-American action - not only in defense but also offensively - would serve as a force multiplier. Coordination cells now operate in Israel and the U.S., where intelligence and targets are synchronized. The teams sit together, analyze targets, and decide who will strike what based on relative advantages. Regarding surface-to-surface missile threats, the IDF primarily strikes in western and central Iran, while the Americans are responsible for strikes in the south of the country. The Americans have dozens of tanker aircraft at Ben-Gurion Airport which have been refueling Israeli fighter jets. The IDF says the next two weeks are expected to involve systematic attrition of regime and military targets throughout Iran. The IDF says there are no constraints on resources or time, and no U.S. restrictions of the kind that existed in the past. The objective is clear and both sides want to achieve it together. "So far it's going very well," IDF officials said.
