Netanyahu urges Iran conflict despite Trump’s priorities | Israel-Iran tensions

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has long warned of the Iranian threat, leading to US President Donald Trump bombing Tehran’s nuclear facilities. Despite this, Netanyahu seeks further military action against Iran, focusing on their missile program. Analysts believe this clashes with Trump’s foreign policy goals of economic cooperation and stability in the region. Israel is shifting focus from Iran’s nuclear program to missiles to maintain pressure on Tehran, even though Iran claims its nuclear program is peaceful. Israel and its allies are highlighting the danger of Iran’s missile capabilities, with Senator Lindsey Graham and Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz emphasizing the threat during recent visits and meetings with Trump.
