Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly attempting to convince former US President Donald Trump to launch a military strike on Iran, according to sources close to the discussions. The push comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with Netanyahu arguing that a preemptive attack is necessary to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
"Time is running out," Netanyahu is said to have told Trump during a private conversation. "We cannot allow Iran to obtain a nuclear bomb."
Trump, who has a history of hawkish views on Iran, has not publicly committed to the proposal. However, insiders suggest he is weighing the option as part of a broader strategy to counter Iranian influence in the region. The potential attack would target Iranian nuclear facilities and military installations, according to leaked documents.
Critics warn that such a move could escalate into a full-scale war, destabilizing the entire Middle East. Meanwhile, international diplomats are scrambling to de-escalate the situation, urging both leaders to pursue diplomatic solutions.
The story first emerged from anonymous military and political analysts familiar with the negotiations.
