Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu advocated for a resumption of large-scale military strikes against Iran, but the plan was ultimately halted due to opposition from then-U.S. President Donald Trump. According to sources cited by the Financial Times, Netanyahu exerted pressure on Trump to restart military operations amid Israeli concerns over Iran's nuclear activities. However, Trump reportedly objected to escalating the conflict so close to the U.S. midterm elections, scheduled for November 3rd, thereby preventing the Israeli plan from being executed. The report indicates that Netanyahu's push for action was driven by fears regarding Iran's nuclear advancements.
