Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has privately urged US President Donald Trump to refrain from pursuing a ceasefire with Iran, expressing concerns about the implications of such a decision. This warning comes as Trump considers escalating military actions in the region, with a critical deadline for the Strait of Hormuz approaching. Reports indicate that Trump informed Netanyahu that a ceasefire could be possible if Iran complies with US demands, including surrendering its enriched uranium and halting further enrichment. Netanyahu reiterated Israel's commitment to targeting senior Iranian leaders and dismantling Iran's military infrastructure. The article highlights a divergence in objectives between the US and Israel; while the US focuses on military targets, Israel is engaged in high-level assassinations aimed at regime change. This difference has led to tensions, particularly as Trump has opposed attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure.
