Israeli and U.S. leaders reportedly discuss jointly attacking Iran again
BlockBeats reports,October 14, according to a report by Israel's Channel 12 television station, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has recently spoken by phone with U.S. President Trump multiple times to discuss the possibility of launching a large-scale joint military strike against Iran before the October 27 Israeli legislative elections and the November 3 U.S. midterm elections.
The report, citing informed sources, said that Netanyahu has actively pushed for joint U.S.-Israeli military action on the grounds that Iran has taken “new steps of concern” in the nuclear field. A senior U.S. government official revealed that Trump asked relevant U.S. and Israeli departments to “move forward and prepare,” but the U.S. side has not yet made any substantive commitment to Israel.
Trump had previously stated publicly that he would not attack Iran before the midterm elections. The report said there are differing opinions within both the U.S. and Israel on resuming joint strikes. Qatar and other mediators are still awaiting Iran’s response to the latest U.S. negotiating proposal.

The report also explicitly states that the United States has not made any substantive commitment and that there are differing opinions within both countries.
Why it matters to readers
