Trump May Avoid Renewing Attacks on Iran Despite Netanyahu’s Pressure: Report

US President Donald Trump said on Monday that the United States may not resume attacks on Iran. Meanwhile, a US media report claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been calling Trump almost every day, urging him to consider fresh strikes against Tehran. According to the report, Netanyahu was attempting to gain political mileage through renewed military action, but Trump reportedly declined the proposal as he was more interested in reaching an agreement with Iran.

The report further stated that Netanyahu pressured Trump to launch an attack on Iran soon after the results of the US midterm elections were announced. However, White House officials reportedly said that Trump had made it clear he wanted to resolve the issue through negotiations rather than military action. The Iran conflict is also believed to have contributed to the ruling Republican Party losing its grip in the US Congress.
