Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDuring their phone call last week, US President Donald Trump told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he “doesn’t want anything to impede” a potential nuclear deal between the United States and Iran, a White House official tells Axios.
The official says Trump’s message to Netanyahu is that “he doesn’t want him to antagonize at a time when he is trying to solve problems,” and while he is keeping the “other option” open, he wants to first give a chance to diplomatic talks.
The news site also quotes a source who says that Israel believes its window to successfully strike Iran could soon be closed.
The report comes a day after Israeli television revealed the call included heated disagreements between Netanyahu and Trump over how to take on Iran.
