Netanyahu urges Trump to strike Iran again, officials say

skynewsarabia.com (Arabic) —

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the Trump administration to launch a new wave of strikes on Iran, according to officials cited by the Associated Press. The US reportedly struck Qeshm Island in southern Iran, following the AP report. Tehran said Monday it has a two-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks. Netanyahu pressed for strikes during a weekend call with Trump, who did not commit to military action. Netanyahu's push coincides with US midterm elections Tuesday. Trump has wavered between threats of broad strikes and seeking a deal. Diplomats are working toward an agreement where Iran halts attacks in the strait in exchange for lifting the US blockade on Iranian ports. Regional allies warned further strikes could destabilize the area.
