Trump and Netanyahu at odds over timing of Iran strikes in frank call
President wants negotiations to play out as Israeli PM presses for strikes after midterms
A phone call between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday discussed how quickly to resume military action against Iran, with the Israeli leader pressing for immediate strikes after Tuesday's midterm elections and the president preferring to let negotiations play out, according to Axios. An Israeli source described the call as "tough," while a US source called it "direct." The discussion follows Vice President Vance's letter to Iran's security chief about the possibility of restarting talks. Qatari mediators met with Iranian officials for a third consecutive day on Sunday, after the call.
