Netanyahu Confirms US-Israel Coordination Against Iran Nuclear Threat

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the close coordination between the U.S. and Israel in efforts to counter Iran during a recent Fox News interview with Bret Baier. Netanyahu confirmed that he and President Trump maintained communication prior to Israel's strike on Iranian targets, highlighting a relationship of mutual respect and confidence where each leader prioritizes their nation's survival and interests. The interview came amid escalating tensions as Israel and Iran resumed hostilities, with GOP hawks supporting Israel's actions while a faction within the Republican Party expressed concerns over potential deeper U.S. involvement in Middle Eastern conflicts. Netanyahu also disclosed that Israeli intelligence has information indicating that the assassination attempts on President Trump in 2024 were backed by Iran. These developments follow Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's statement that all options remain on the table amid fears of nuclear escalation. The situation illustrates the delicate balance President Trump faces between supporting Israel and managing broader geopolitical risks.
