According to the report, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked President Donald Trump to delay any plans for an American military strike against Iran. The conversation, which took place on Wednesday, came after Trump received information indicating that Iran had stopped killing protesters
Some are quick to claim credit for halting the escalation, but it is far from clear that these were the circumstances that led the president to his apparent decision. The ultimatum to the murderous regime remains in force, and the ball is in the hands of the oppressed people of Iran.
Tensions between the US and Iran have eased following diplomatic efforts that included direct talks between Tehran and Washington, the Financial Times reports. While gulf states led by Saudi Arabia pressed President Trump to avoid a strike, the military option remains on the table: “Trump is ready to pull the trigger.”
Despite the concerns, there is no decision-maker who would not back an aggressive American move against Tehran. What Israel was planning to strike in June, before Trump ordered the aircraft turned back? And also: the enormous sum the IDF could save if the regime falls.
Iran's ambassador to Pakistan said Trump communicated his decision at 1 a.m. and requested that Tehran show restraint. US troops return to Qatar base. Revolutionary Guards – equipped with armored vehicles and machine guns – reportedly deployed to city centers.
