Iran War
Netanyahu calls Trump every day to restart Iran war despite US resistance: Report
Jerusalem/Washington DC/IBNS: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly been calling US President Donald Trump regularly, urging him to resume military strikes on Iran, media reports said.
"Netanyahu calls him every day [to urge him to resume the war]. Those who don’t want a war within the White House and outside have been trying to combat that," a person briefed on the discussions told the Financial Times.
Netanyahu's reported appeal comes despite calls from Arab countries for Washington to pursue diplomacy with Tehran.
Meanwhile, Trump has indicated that the US has no immediate plans to launch fresh strikes on Iran, describing the possibility of renewed military action as "unlikely" following the Republican Party's losses in the US midterm elections.
Iran's Qeshm Island was struck by US missiles on November 3 and 6.
Although Trump did not explicitly claim responsibility for the attacks on the island, he confirmed that Washington had carried out fresh strikes.
"Iran militarily is effectively over," Trump said, adding, "We're just keeping it the status quo."
Netanyahu's political situation
Netanyahu is also facing a challenging political situation at home.
His Likud Party-led bloc secured a majority of seats in the Israeli elections, but he has reportedly failed to secure an electoral victory, adding to the uncertainty surrounding his political future.
