Senior US officials told Axios that Prime Minister Netanyahu cited alleged Iranian efforts to rebuild nuclear capacity as the reason for potentially launching new strikes against Iran. The discussions reportedly took place before Israel’s October 27 election.

This represents a significant escalation in rhetoric regarding Iran’s nuclear programme, with Netanyahu apparently seeking US coordination on military action. The timing of such discussions during an election campaign raises questions about the political motivations behind the military posturing.

The report comes as tensions between Israel and Iran remain high, with previous strikes against Iranian targets generating international concern about regional stability.
