U.S. President Donald Trump issued strong condemnations against Iran, stating during an election rally in Alaska on Tuesday night that "wait and see what we do to Iran." He added, "We will strike them hard, because we have had enough, we are fed up."
This comes amid heightened tensions, with Axios reporting last week that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Trump discussed renewing attacks on Iran. The discussion reportedly centered on whether to renew attacks and the potential military and political repercussions.
Netanyahu reportedly fears Tehran is working to revive its nuclear program and is exploring the possibility of a joint military operation against Iranian military and nuclear facilities. The upcoming Israeli elections in two weeks are also a backdrop to these discussions.
U.S. officials reportedly believe a renewed confrontation could bolster Netanyahu's image as a wartime leader. However, they also caution that it could lead to an Iranian response that destabilizes the region.
