Trump and Netanyahu discuss Iran strike plans

ua.korrespondent.net (Ukrainian) —

US President Donald Trump spoke by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday, October 31, ahead of a possible resumption of strikes on Iranian territory, according to The Wall Street Journal. The call came after Trump held a White House meeting with top military commanders days earlier to discuss renewing major combat operations in the region. Sources say Trump contacted Netanyahu to brief his Middle East ally, while the US prepares to resume bombing Iranian territory. Trump is also making final efforts to motivate Republican voters ahead of midterm elections, as the unpopular Middle East war has raised fuel prices and dampened Republican enthusiasm. Qatari mediators previously delivered Iran a draft agreement aimed at ending the war with the US and Israel.
