Trump and Netanyahu Discuss New Iran Strikes, Israeli Opposition Warns of War

krone.at (German) —

US President Donald Trump has publicly discussed new strikes on Iran and reportedly spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about resuming bombardments, according to a report. Israeli opposition warns Netanyahu may seek war to stay in power. The Wall Street Journal reported the Saturday call occurred amid US preparations for renewed attacks on Iran, possibly after US midterm elections on November 3. Trump mentioned targeting the "Pickaxe Mountain" site in Isfahan province, saying such operations could be completed in ten minutes. Iran's Foreign Minister said no meetings with US officials are planned, while Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei threatened an "immediate, effective, and geographically unrestricted response." The conflict began in late February with US-Israeli strikes, and diplomatic efforts stalled after June.
