Netanyahu lobbies Trump daily to strike Iran

news.ltn.com.tw (Chinese) —

The Trump administration has stated it will not resume military strikes against Iran for now, following Republican losses in the midterm elections, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly lobbying President Trump daily to launch new attacks. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said economic pressure on Iran is so effective that no large-scale military operation is currently needed, though US forces remain ready if Iran crosses a "red line." Regional leaders including Saudi Arabia and the UAE have urged Trump to prioritize diplomacy. Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz during the war contributed to rising oil prices and Republican election losses. Attacks on tankers and energy infrastructure persist, with 37 ships hit in October, while Treasury Secretary Bessent has reportedly moved to a military base due to Iranian threats.
