### Tensions Rise as Netanyahu Pushes for Action Against Iran Amid Trump’s Diplomatic Efforts

In the ongoing negotiations aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent threats of military intervention have added complexity to President Trump's diplomatic approach. Netanyahu's insistence on possible strikes against Iran's nuclear sites has created friction, particularly in light of their differences on how to capitalize on what they perceive as a moment of vulnerability for Iran.

Netanyahu's military approach has prompted urgent phone conversations with Trump, who remains committed to pursuing negotiations. Last weekend, Trump hinted at potential breakthroughs, suggesting that significant developments may occur within days. However, others privy to the discussions indicate that any agreements reached would merely outline principles rather than deliver concrete actions.

Israel's exclusion from direct negotiations further complicates matters, leaving Netanyahu to operate independently while seeking U.S. support. Reports suggest that earlier plans for an Israeli strike on Iranian facilities were halted at Trump’s request to maintain dialogue. As both leaders navigate their contrasting strategies, the future of the Iraqi nuclear deal and regional stability remains precarious.
