Trump gave no commitment as U.S. and Israeli forces stayed on alert for a possible campaign against Iran, officials said.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed potential military strikes against Iran with President Donald Trump last week, seeking action before Israel's October 27 elections, according to reports.
- Netanyahu cited alleged Iranian efforts to rebuild nuclear capacity as justification for the proposed strikes during several conversations with Trump over the past two weeks.
- President Donald Trump reportedly told Netanyahu to "go ahead and get ready," though officials noted no definitive commitment, while the Pentagon instructed U.S. Central Command to finalize preparations.
