Netanyahu had difficult conversation with Trump over Iran — portal

Résumé détaillé

According to a source cited by Ynet, the discussion focused on the resumption of a military operation

TEL AVIV, November 11. /TASS/. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had "a particularly difficult and sharp conversation" with US President Donald Trump over the weekend on the subject of resuming a military operation against Iran, the Ynet portal wrote, citing a source.

The portal quoted the source as saying that the conversation resembled "a shouting match from hell."

Responding a request from Ynet, the Office of the Israeli Prime Minister denied the information as "fake news."

A high-ranking Israeli official confirmed that the meeting had indeed taken place but assured that the call was "very much not difficult."

Earlier, the British newspaper Financial Times (FT) reported, citing a source, that Netanyahu calls US Trump practically every day to urge him to resume military operations against Iran.

The United States and Israel launched a war against Iran on February 28. In June, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding providing for an immediate cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including in Lebanon. However, on the night of July 8, the United States resumed large-scale strikes against Iran, accusing Tehran of violating the terms of the agreements reached concerning the Strait of Hormuz. The US administration subsequently effectively signaled an end to the use of large-scale military force against Iran and a shift toward attempts to economically strangle the country through sanctions.
