Trump and Netanyahu hold talks amid Iran tensions
According to Arutz Sheva citing The Wall Street Journal, US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a telephone conversation on Saturday against the backdrop of ongoing tensions with Iran and diplomatic efforts to end the conflict. The call occurred two days after Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM, briefed Trump at the White House on potential military operations against Iran. Meanwhile, sources told Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that negotiations in Qatar have made progress, with preliminary understandings reached on Iran's nuclear program and maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. Despite this, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warned that any threat would be met with an immediate and effective response without geographical restrictions.
