Israel is weighing a more limited attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities without the support of the US, as the Trump administration pushes diplomacy in continued talks with Tehran Saturday.
After months of pitching the US on proposals for spring and summer strikes that would target Tehran’s nuclear program, President Trump this week told Netanyahu that he wants to prioritize negotiations.
On Saturday, US and Iranian delegations concluded a second round of talks in Rome and announced plans to continue them next weekend.
As a result, Israel is now eyeing a more limited attack that would require less assistance from Washington, an Israeli official and two other sources told Reuters Saturday.
The original proposals, first floated to the Biden administration, required significant involvement from the US.
