Netanyahu Denies Report of Trump Halting Israeli Attack on Iran

Netanyahu Denies Report of Trump Halting Israeli Attack on Iran

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied a report that Donald Trump halted an Israeli attack on Iran. The Financial Times reported Israel was ready to strike Iranian nuclear and civilian sites on October 10, but Trump opposed it before U.S. elections. The Jerusalem Post countered that Israeli military preparations were for other security scenarios, not an imminent attack. The conflicting reports leave details of the alleged plan unclear.
