Yesterday’s conversation between Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump focused on the implications and potential consequences of an Israeli strike, with Trump being briefed on the scope of the operation, according to a source familiar with the details.

There was no explicit “don’t” from Trump, but Trump urged Netanyahu to avoid large-scale strikes due to progress in talks toward a deal. Trump reportedly conveyed the message: “You are an independent country, but every decision has consequences.”

Separately, an American official told i24NEWS that the United States assisted in intercepting threats and defending Israeli airspace, including helping intercept several missiles during the Iranian missile attack.
