[U.S. and Israeli leaders were exposed to discuss joint efforts to attack Iran again] On October 14, according to reports from Israel’s Channel 12 TV station, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu had several phone calls with U.S. President Trump recently to discuss the possibility of launching a large-scale joint military strike against Iran before the Israeli parliamentary elections on October 27 and the U.S. midterm elections on November 3. The report quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Netanyahu was actively promoting joint military action by the United States and Israel on the grounds that Iran had taken "worrying new measures" in the nuclear field. Senior US government officials revealed that Trump asked relevant US and Israeli departments to "advance and prepare" for this, but the US has not yet made any substantive commitments to Israel. Trump has previously stated publicly that he would not attack Iran before the midterm elections. According to reports, there are different opinions within the United States and Israel on resuming joint strikes. Currently, mediators such as Qatar are still waiting for Iran’s response to the United States’ latest negotiation proposal. (CCTV International News)
