Netanyahu calls for an attack on Iran and Trump tells him not yet
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pushed for renewed military action against Iran, with plans for a multi-day offensive targeting nuclear facilities and power plants. However, former President Donald Trump has halted these plans until after the upcoming midterm elections in the U.S. The Israeli military had prepared for strikes, but Trump’s administration emphasized that no attacks would occur before the elections. Despite a fragile ceasefire, tensions remain high, with ongoing exchanges of attacks between Washington and Tehran. Netanyahu and Trump have recently intensified their rhetoric, with Trump supporting Netanyahu's re-election and warning of the consequences of a leadership change in Israel. The Israeli military has also canceled troop leave to ensure security during the elections.
