Netanyahu urges Trump daily to resume strikes on Iran, report says

hindustantimes.com —

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been calling US President Donald Trump daily to urge a resumption of military action against Iran, according to a Financial Times report citing sources familiar with the discussions. White House officials and regional leaders are reportedly urging Trump to avoid escalation and prioritize negotiations, with an Israeli source saying Netanyahu favors restarting the war but is not actively pushing for it. Trump said Tuesday that Washington is unlikely to resume strikes for now, citing positive momentum toward ending the conflict. Trump noted an "excellent conversation" with Qatar's prime minister and said Gulf states prefer maintaining the current status quo, including the naval blockade. Iran has warned it could retaliate fiercely, potentially targeting undersea cables in the Strait of Hormuz, if attacked again.
