Report: Netanyahu urges Trump to strike Iran post-midterms - NHKニュース
A US news website says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pressed US President Donald Trump to strike Iran immediately after the US midterm elections on Tuesday. The report points to a gap between the two sides, saying Trump wants to let negotiations "play out" for now.
Axios quoted one Israeli and one US source as saying that Netanyahu called for a return to combat when the two leaders discussed the Iranian situation over the phone on Saturday.
The talks included the state of US negotiations with Iran.
The news outlet notes that Trump is pursuing dual tracks, trying to reach a deal to restart peace talks with Iran, while also preparing for a possible resumption of major combat operations.
Axios says both the White House and the Israeli prime minister's office declined to comment.
US Vice President JD Vance has reportedly sent a letter to the Iranian side through a mediator, proposing to restart negotiations for a truce between Washington and Tehran.
