Netanyahu intends to discuss striking Iran with Trump

The Axios website reported from sources that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends, during his upcoming meeting with US President Donald Trump, to discuss rebuilding Iran's missile capabilities and the possibility of striking Tehran.

The site mentioned that Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir informed the US Central Command -during a meeting in Tel Aviv yesterday Sunday- of his country's concern about the recent Iranian missile maneuver, warning that these moves could be a cover for a surprise attack.

Zamir also emphasized the need for close coordination with Washington regarding defensive preparations.

The site clarified, quoting the same sources, that "the greatest danger lies in the outbreak of war between Israel and Iran as a result of miscalculation by one of the parties," noting that US intelligence currently has no indication of an imminent Iranian attack.

The "Israel Hayom" newspaper reported yesterday Sunday that Tel Aviv is preparing to present a comprehensive intelligence file to Trump during his upcoming meeting with Netanyahu in the US state of Florida, to convince him to take practical steps against Iran, including the option of launching a new attack.

According to the newspaper's sources, the intelligence file will focus on renewing the Iranian nuclear program, developing ballistic missiles, the activities of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and supporting and funding terrorism through "Iran's arms" in the region.

Israel believes -according to the newspaper- that overthrowing the Iranian regime is the radical solution to ending wars in the region, noting that Tel Aviv is studying military and economic options in this context alongside efforts to destabilize the regime in Tehran.
