Netanyahu Reportedly Urged Trump to Delay Potential Strike on Iran

According to a New York Times report, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly spoke with former US President Donald Trump and requested a delay to a potential US military strike on Iran. This move occurred alongside US efforts to exert diplomatic pressure on Tehran to halt the suppression of protesters. Arab nations, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Egypt, have also urged Trump to avoid an attack, fearing a wider regional conflict. Simultaneously, they have warned Iranian officials against attacking regional countries if the United States were to strike.
