Israel assesses that the fighting with Iran will last at least two weeks. The U.S. will assist with defense and may join in further attacks, with expectations to expand its efforts in the region as soon as the next 24 hours. According to security sources, recent statements between the U.S. and Israel were coordinated, partly to "put the Iranians to sleep," and the Americans are expected to join the strikes if the initial results of the Israeli operation prove successful.
