CNN Central News & Networks / ITDC India ePress / ITDC News /Agencies/ Bhopal: CNN Central News & Networks / ITDC India ePress / ITDC News / Agencies, Bhopal: Strategic differences have emerged between the United States and Israel over possible military action against Iran. In a recent telephone conversation between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the timing and strategy for restarting a military campaign against Iran were discussed. Sources from the two countries have made differing claims about the conversation.
According to reports, Netanyahu wants the United States to launch a military strike on Iran immediately after the midterm elections scheduled for November 3. Israel believes that delaying action against Iran could give it an opportunity to strengthen its military and strategic position. Trump, meanwhile, is currently in favour of giving diplomatic talks more time rather than moving directly to military action.
Trump believes the possibility of an agreement through talks with Iran has not yet been completely exhausted. He has indicated that the United States is keeping military options ready alongside negotiations. He says the United States must address concerns related to some of Iran’s nuclear facilities, but immediate war is not necessary for that.
The wider consequences of a regional conflict, American interests and the prospects of a diplomatic solution are being seen as important factors behind delaying an attack. Meanwhile, Qatari mediators are continuing talks with Iranian officials so that direct negotiations between the United States and Iran can resume.
The developments make clear that Washington currently wants to keep both tracks open – talks and military preparedness – while Israel is pressing for early action.
