Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has urged US President Donald Trump to attack Iran, according to reports, as the United States continues diplomatic efforts ahead of the midterm elections.

Trump confirmed that he had spoken to Netanyahu while speaking to reporters on Sunday, and that they had discussed Iran but declined to share any further details about the nature of their conversation or specific recommendations made.

The reported call comes amid ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran, and reflects Netanyahu’s apparent preference for military action over continued negotiations on the Iranian nuclear programme and regional security concerns.
