Netanyahu urges new Iran strikes as Tehran shortens Hormuz reopening plan

ctvnews.ca —

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is urging the Trump administration to launch another wave of strikes on Iran, according to officials, as Iran announced a two-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks with the United States. Netanyahu pressed for military action during a weekend call with President Trump, who did not commit to strikes, while U.S. allies in the Middle East warned that further attacks would destabilize the region. Iran's revised plan shortens its original seven-day timeline and requires Washington to meet conditions including lifting port blockades and oil sanctions. A vessel was struck by an unknown projectile in the strait, and Yemen's Houthi rebels accused Saudi Arabia of attacking a port. China plans to send a special envoy to the region, and Israeli forces withdrew from parts of Hebron after a deadly shooting operation.
