Officials: Netanyahu Urged Trump to Strike Iran Again

Officials told the Associated Press that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged US President Donald Trump's administration to launch a new wave of strikes on Iran, while The Wall Street Journal reported that the United States carried out strikes on Qeshm Island in southern Iran. The officials said diplomatic efforts are making progress toward an agreement under which Iran would halt attacks in the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the United States lifting its blockade of Iranian ports, with further talks due this week, while Trump did not commit to military action during a call with Netanyahu.
