I keep hearing the same thing from Israeli officers, and it tells you something real about this war.
Over the past few days, I’ve spoken with officers at different levels. Some are very senior. Some are much younger. The same point keeps coming up: their relationship with their American counterparts is unusually close.
They are talking about day-to-day work. Calls. Assessments. Fast decisions. Trust built over time and tested now under pressure.
In more rooms than people realize, the working language is English.
As an Israeli and an American, I notice that.
From the outside, most people see the strike, the headline, the statement. Inside the system, alliances are judged differently. They are judged by whether people can speak plainly, understand each other quickly, and work together when time is short and the stakes are high.
I’ve spent enough time around decision-makers and military officials to know the difference between a friendly relationship and a working one.
What I’m hearing now is about the working kind.
That may be one of the most important stories of this war against the IRGC in Iran - and it's proxies.
