Although U.S. President Donald Trump has left the door open to diplomacy in dealing with Tehran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to hold daily calls with him in an effort to persuade him to launch a new military attack on Iran.<\/p>\n
The Financial Times quoted a source familiar with the discussions as saying, \u201cNetanyahu calls Trump every day to urge him to resume the war,\u201d noting that there are parties both inside and outside the White House opposing this approach and seeking to prevent it from being implemented.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the source revealed that regional leaders are urging Trump to avoid escalation, stressing the need to prioritize negotiations and diplomatic solutions.<\/p>\n
Trump appeared to embrace this approach when discussing his meeting on Monday with Qatar\u2019s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, who is working to mediate a diplomatic settlement to the conflict between Washington and Tehran.<\/p>\n
Netanyahu\u2019s insistence on pushing Trump toward resuming the war against Iran has raised concerns among several regional and international leaders, amid the Israeli prime minister\u2019s ongoing efforts to achieve this objective.<\/p>\n
In contrast, another source familiar with the situation in Israel said that Netanyahu does indeed want to continue military operations against Iran, but stressed that there are currently no direct moves or pressure efforts aimed at persuading Trump to take that step.<\/p>\n
Earlier on Monday, informed sources revealed that a Qatari-Pakistani proposal had helped revive negotiations between Washington and Tehran. They explained that the proposed framework includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz and immediately lifting the naval blockade.<\/p>\n
The sources added that the proposal includes arrangements to discuss the return of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to Iran, without specifying the scope of their duties. It also provides for the United States to release Iranian assets worth between $6 billion and $9 billion if an agreement is reached.<\/p>\n
Regarding the nuclear issue, the initiative envisages reaching an initial agreement on reducing Iran\u2019s uranium enrichment level. It indicated that Washington had agreed to allow Iran to enrich uranium domestically at a rate of 3.67%, a level Tehran had also accepted.<\/p>\n
