Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly decided to delay retaliation against Iran's recent missile strikes after a request from US President Donald Trump. The decision comes as the US seeks a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing conflict, which has now reached 100 days. According to an Axios report, Trump urged Netanyahu to refrain from military action, expressing optimism about nearing a deal with Iran. The phone conversation between the two leaders was described as significantly calmer than past interactions, where Trump had previously expressed frustration with Netanyahu. Although Netanyahu initially resisted the request, he ultimately 'pseudo-agreed' to Trump's wishes. However, officials from both nations indicated that no formal decision has been made regarding Israel's response, as Netanyahu continues to consult with security advisors. Furthermore, Trump asserted his control over the negotiations, stating that Netanyahu will have no choice but to accept any agreements reached. The situation remains tense, especially following Iran's missile launch towards Israel and Israel's strikes on Hezbollah targets.
