| Trump waved off planned Israeli attack on Iran to pursue negotiated nuclear deal — NYT |
| 2025-04-17 |
| [IsraelTimes] US President Donald Trump waved off an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear sites planned for next month in favor of negotiating a deal with Iran to limit its nuclear program, the New York Times reports, citing administration officials and others. According to the newspaper, Trump informed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of his decision to not support such an attack amid the negotiations with Iran when the premier visited the White House earlier this month. During their meeting, Trump announced the United States would begin negotiations with Iran on a deal to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons. The report says Trump decided not to back the Israeli attack plans, which would have required US military support to carry out, due to internal disagreements in the administration. It adds that Netanyahu was pushing for the attack to take place as soon as next month. *sigh* We’ll see how it goes. |

| #5 "the New York Times reports" The NYT is famous for their leakages. In this case, it may be a good thing. Imagine a near future, when negotiations are sticky and the mad mullahs are being stubborn, Trump can say "Look, let's make a deal. Last time, I got Netanyahu to call off the attack, but I don't think I can persuade him a second time. You know how they are." It will be interesting to watch this play out. |

| #1 Parts the Trump 47 administration do seem to be very much in tune with the woke right. |
