[IsraelTimes] During their phone call last week, US President Donald Trump told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he “doesn’t want anything to impede” a potential nuclear deal between the United States and Iran, a White House official tells Axios.The official says Trump’s message to Netanyahu is that “he doesn’t want him to antagonize at a time when he is trying to solve problems,” and while he is keeping the “other option” open, he wants to first give a chance to diplomatic talks. The news site also quotes a source who says that Israel believes its window to successfully strike Iran could soon be closed. The report comes a day after Israeli television revealed the call included heated disagreements between Netanyahu and Trump over how to take on Iran. Report: US officials concerned Israel could carry out strikes on Iran without much warning Then the anonymous leakers won’t be surprised when it happens. Because Bibi’s primary responsibility is toward Israel, not America, no matter how much he might like and be grateful to President Trump. [IsraelTimes] US officials are worried that Israel could decide to carry out strikes on Iran’s nuclear program without much warning, the New York Times reports.The outlet says that US intelligence believes that Israel could make the preparations to carry out an attack in as little as seven hours, which would leave them very little time to attempt to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to change his mind, the report says. Those American intelligence officials are said to doubt the efficacy of a unilateral strike by Israel, with Israeli officials said to believe that the US would have no choice other than to assist if Tehran were to strike back. The report says that Israeli officials have told Washington that a strike could be carried out even if a nuclear agreement is reached between the US and Iran. Posted by: trailing wife 2025-05-28 |
