Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is stepping up pressure on US President Donald Trump to launch a fresh military campaign against Iran. Netanyahu wants the United States and Israel to carry out joint strikes on Iran soon after the upcoming US midterm elections.
The information was reported by US news outlet Axios.
According to the report, the Trump administration is divided over whether to resume negotiations with Iran or launch another military campaign against the country. Some officials in the administration favour restarting diplomatic talks with Tehran, while others support fresh military strikes against Iran.
Meanwhile, Israeli television channel 15 has reported that the Israeli military has completed preparations for an attack on Iran.
According to the channel, Israeli military officials believe that a direct conflict with Iran could draw Lebanon’s armed group Hezbollah into a renewed war. As a result, Israel is preparing for the possibility of simultaneous drone and missile attacks from its northern border.
