Netanyahu wanted an attack on Iran as early as this week - Trump has not yet decided

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pressed President Donald Trump to attack Iran as early as this week, but Trump has not yet decided and continues to promote negotiations with Tehran, according to reports in the Wall Street Journal and Axios. Gulf states, US allies, are preparing for the possibility of a broad American attack and fear Iranian retaliatory strikes on their territory. Trump said at a campaign rally in Iowa that "the only reason I haven't finished with Iran yet is that I want to be nice," and noted that oil prices dropped by $10 per barrel, the largest decline in history. Vice President JD Vance expressed optimism about reaching a deal with Iran, stating that no deadline has been set. Qatar proposed a new framework for a maritime ceasefire in the Strait of Hormuz, but talks are stalled. The US military has prepared strike options, and the American commander presented them to Trump in an unusual meeting.
