Netanyahu allegedly urged Trump to attack Iran before US and Israel elections. US officials say Trump gave him green light: ‘go ahead and prepare’

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu allegedly urged President Donald Trump to restart military action against Iran before the upcoming elections in Israel and the United States, the Times of Israel reports. While the President has not made a final decision, he has reportedly told the Israeli leader that he can “go ahead and prepare” for potential operations.

This development surfaced on Tuesday after reports highlighted the tension surrounding these discussions. Although the President has publicly stated he will not resume attacks before the midterm elections, sources suggest the Israel Defense Forces and CENTCOM are maintaining a high state of readiness. They are finishing up preparations in case the President changes his mind, as he has reportedly shifted his stance on the issue every few days.
