Netanyahu pushes Trump to strike Iran as US weighs talks before midterms

jpost.com —

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged US President Donald Trump to strike Iran immediately after the midterm elections, according to an Axios report citing Israeli and US sources, while Trump prefers to continue negotiations. Trump confirmed speaking with Netanyahu on Saturday about Iran but declined to share details, saying "We had a very good conversation." The US has increased its military presence in the region, sending over 10 transport aircraft to Israel and moving air defense systems to allies. Some of Trump's team is reportedly shifting toward attacking Iran after other methods failed to secure concessions. Vice President JD Vance recently sent a letter to Iran's national security chief about negotiations, which Trump described as "going fine."
