Netanyahu and Trump Discuss Potential Second Strike on Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly discussed the possibility of a second round of strikes on Iran during a meeting with US President Donald Trump, according to media reports. The meeting, held at the White House, focused on Israel's concerns over Iran's nuclear and missile programs, as well as Hezbollah's efforts to rebuild its long-range missile arsenal in Lebanon. A US official revealed that the discussions included the possibility of attacking Iran again in 2026, six months after a 12-day war between the US-Israel alliance and Iran. The war, which targeted Iran's nuclear infrastructure and missile capabilities, was described by Trump as a 'tremendous success'. However, tensions remain high as Israeli officials have raised alarms over Iran's recent missile developments and Hezbollah's alleged stockpiling of weapons. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has warned of a 'harsh' retaliation to any aggression, while Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called for renewed negotiations 'in a spirit of respect'. No agreement was reached on a timeline or thresholds for future military action.
