Netanyahu urges Trump to strike Iran after US midterms

timesofindia.indiatimes.com —

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pressed US President Donald Trump during a Saturday phone call to launch fresh strikes on Iran after Tuesday's US midterm elections, according to an Axios report citing Israeli and US sources. The call highlighted differences over Tehran, with Netanyahu urging immediate military action while Trump prefers continuing diplomatic efforts for now. One Israeli source called the conversation "tough," though Trump described it as a "very good talk" without providing details. Trump is pursuing parallel diplomatic and military approaches, saying negotiations with Iran were "going fine" while noting Washington needed to address nuclear sites like Pickaxe Mountain. Vice President JD Vance sent a letter to Iran's security chief, and Qatari mediators met Iranian officials for a third day, though no agreement has been reached.
