After The New York Times reported that Israel was planning imminent strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu dismissed the story as “completely fake news.” However, U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed he advised Netanyahu in a phone call not to take any action that could disrupt ongoing U.S.-Iran nuclear talks in Oman. Trump emphasized the need for a deal that includes inspections and avoids casualties, saying military options should be last resort.
