Trump-Netanyahu call exposes rift over timing of Iran strikes

In a Saturday call, Netanyahu pressed Trump to resume strikes on Iran immediately after U.S. midterms, but Trump prefers to let negotiations play out, per Israeli and U.S. sources. The call was described as 'tough' by the Israeli source and 'direct' by the U.S. source, signaling a rare divergence between the allies. This rift matters because it could delay or alter the pace of military action against Iran, affecting regional stability and oil markets.

US-Iran Nuclear Standoff: Trump Threatens Strikes Amidst Diplomatic Rift with Israel

US President Trump has publicly threatened imminent military strikes against remaining Iranian nuclear targets, including 'Pickaxe Mountain' (Fordow), while simultaneously acknowledging ongoing, albeit unresolved, negotiations with Iran. This rhetoric follows a 'tough' call with Israeli PM Netanyahu, who reportedly pressed for immediate strikes, indicating a potential divergence in US-Israeli timing for military action. The actual status of alleged prior US strikes and the existence of 'Pickaxe Mountain' as a distinct facility remain unconfirmed.
