Netanyahu: Iran Used Proxies in Trump Assassination Plots

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Iran, acting through proxies, attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump twice, citing Trump's firm stance against Iran's nuclear ambitions. During the G7 summit, Trump declined to back a joint statement on Iran, demanding a total halt to Iranian uranium enrichment, which other world leaders viewed as a barrier to de-escalation. Netanyahu suggested that targeting Iran's Supreme Leader could resolve the conflict, challenging U.S. concerns about escalation. Evangelical leaders and several American officials voiced strong support for Trump's and Israel's hardline positions, arguing they are necessary to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. The international community remains divided, with Trump's calls for tougher sanctions on Russia and a more confrontational approach to Iran complicating G7 unity on both the Middle East crisis and the Ukraine war. These developments reflect intensifying tensions and differing strategies among global leaders regarding Iran.
