Israel is also concerned about a possible Iranian uranium enrichment facility at Pickaxe Mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Axios, Trump has not made a final decision on whether to resume military strikes against Iran. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and some officials at US Central Command reportedly favour renewed attacks, while several of Trump\u2019s advisers support continuing economic sanctions for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report also said Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir and US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Dan Caine held discussions regarding potential strikes against Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The White House, however, denied the Axios report, saying Trump had indicated that he would not attack Iran before the midterm elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the possibility of a major military operation against Iran last week, including potential strikes on Iranian military and&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7398,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2704,100,57,165,1440,254,1423],"class_list":["post-7397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-axios","tag-donald-trump","tag-iran","tag-middle-east-tensions","tag-strait-of-hormuz","tag-united-states","tag-war-against-iran"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
