Trump and Netanyahu held a tense phone call on Saturday regarding the situation in Iran. Netanyahu urged Trump to launch an immediate attack on Iran after the US midterm elections, while Trump preferred to continue the negotiation process first, while not ruling out the option of using force. The US recently conveyed information to senior Iranian officials through Vice President Vance, marking the highest-level contact between the two countries in months. Trump stated that negotiations were progressing well, but he lacked trust in Iran, and revealed that the US military could quickly strike the suspected underground nuclear facility known as "Gazelle Hill" within Iran. Qatari mediators have held talks with Iran for three consecutive days, acting as a mediator in the US-Iran negotiations. The Iranian Foreign Minister stated that no agreement has been reached yet, and further developments depend on the US response to Iran's demands, hoping the US would choose to resolve the issue through diplomatic channels. The US continues to employ a two-pronged strategy: pushing forward the negotiation process while preparing for a large-scale military operation after the midterm elections. Neither the White House nor the Israeli Prime Minister's Office commented on the call.
