Washington: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly considering seeking guarantees from US President Donald Trump that would facilitate a potential Israeli military strike against Iran. This development comes amid rising concerns in Tel Aviv over Iran’s nuclear program and missile development activities.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, Netanyahu intends to request formal assurances from President Trump, potentially in the form of a written letter, during their upcoming meeting. These guarantees would enable Israel to take decisive actions if it perceives an escalation in the Iranian threat.

Prior to his departure to Washington, DC, Netanyahu reaffirmed Israel’s stance on confronting Iran’s ambitions to develop nuclear weapons. This meeting with President Trump is seen as a critical step in ensuring that Israel has the backing it needs to address what it views as a significant security concern emanating from Tehran.
