Trump calls Netanyahu as US weighs new Iran strikes

President Donald Trump spoke by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the U.S. prepares military plans for potential strikes against Iran following the November 3 midterm elections. Trump stated he wants to destroy one or two additional targets in Iran, which could be done quickly. The Wall Street Journal reported the call, citing sources familiar with the discussion. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed hope that logic would prevail on the American side, emphasizing diplomacy over other paths, while warning that Tehran's armed forces are stronger than before and ready for conflict if negotiations fail. Iranian negotiators continued talks with Qatari mediators in Doha on Sunday regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, with a proposal drafted for reopening within two days of a potential agreement with Washington, though no final decision has been reached.
