The American newspaper Wall Street Journal revealed that Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, is exerting intense pressure on the United States to resume military attacks inside Iran; in contrast, the White House has stressed that no attack will be carried out before the midterm elections.
The newspaper reported, citing a White House spokesperson, that the United States will not attack Iran before the midterm elections. At the same time, officials in the Middle East have indicated that they are viewing the risks of escalating tensions with the utmost seriousness and vigilance, particularly amid the ongoing threats by Donald Trump, the U.S. president, and Tehran’s insistence on rejecting Washington’s demands.
According to information from the Wall Street Journal, Netanyahu continues his efforts to persuade the United States to resume military attacks deep inside Iranian territory. In this context, Israel, based on classified information, has provided Pete Hegseth, the U.S. defense secretary, with a list of proposed targets for bombing.
