Netanyahu presses Trump daily to resume Iran strikes as US weighs exit

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly urged US President Donald Trump daily to resume military strikes against Iran, even as Washington weighs ending the conflict, according to the Financial Times. Netanyahu's pressure comes as Arab leaders, including Qatar's prime minister, urge Trump to pursue diplomacy, while US forces conducted strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island on November 3 and 6. Trump confirmed minor strikes but said Iran is "militarily effectively over." The push follows Republican losses in the US midterms and Netanyahu's failure to form a coalition after Israeli elections. Trump met with Qatar's PM to discuss a draft deal involving Iranian guarantees on Strait of Hormuz navigation in exchange for lifted sanctions.
