Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked US President Donald Trump not to attack Iran. The influential Washington Post reported that Netanyahu made this request because Iran did not have sufficient strength and readiness to repel a counterattack.
\nIran had threatened to retaliate against Israel and US bases in the Middle East if they were attacked.

The Washington Post also claimed that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi sent a text message to Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, which also cooled the situation somewhat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
