Trump and Netanyahu clash in heated call over Iran strategy

US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu engaged in a heated telephone call over the weekend, reportedly escalating into a shouting match over disagreements on the Iran war, according to Israeli media reports. Netanyahu pushed for renewed military action and regime change in Iran, while Trump favored continuing peace negotiations and economic pressure. The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office denied the confrontation, calling the reports “fake news.” The leaders have clashed before, with Trump previously calling Netanyahu “f***ing crazy.” Netanyahu faces political uncertainty after losing seats in October’s election, and he argued Tuesday that toppling Iran’s leadership is the only way to end its nuclear threat.
