BlockBeats report: On October 14, according to Israel's Channel 12, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has had multiple phone calls with U.S. President Trump, discussing the possibility of launching a large-scale joint military strike against Iran before Israel’s parliamentary election on October 27 and the U.S. midterm elections on November 3.
The report, citing informed sources, stated that Netanyahu has been actively pushing for a joint U.S.-Israel military action, citing Iran's "concerning new moves" in the nuclear field. Senior U.S. government officials revealed that Trump has instructed relevant U.S. and Israeli agencies to "move forward and prepare," but the U.S. has not yet made any substantive commitments to Israel.
Trump previously stated publicly that he would not attack Iran before the midterm elections. Reports indicate that there are differing opinions within the U.S. and Israel regarding the resumption of joint strikes. Meanwhile, mediators such as Qatar are still awaiting Iran’s response to the U.S.’s latest negotiation proposal.
