Netanyahu calls Trump daily, urges renewed U.S. strike on Iran
The push comes as Gulf states and U.S. mediators press diplomacy and see little chance of another attack.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been reported to call U.S. President Donald Trump every day to urge him to continue the war against Iran. A Financial Times report cited by several media outlets said the lobbying is taking place while Washington is still pursuing diplomacy to prevent a new escalation. A source familiar with the talks said figures inside and outside the White House have sought to restrain war hawks, while regional leaders have asked Trump to prioritize negotiations. Trump also is said to believe the chance of a new strike on Tehran is now very small. In recent days, leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Turkiye and other countries in the region have been said to express concern that a new conflict could trigger a broader Iranian response.
