Netanyahu Halts Trump From Bombing Iran As Israel Delivers Vital Intelligence On Regime Crackdown

According to Daily Mail, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly intervened to dissuade U.S. President Donald Trump from carrying out military strikes against Iran, citing concerns that such action could trigger Iranian retaliation against Israel and destabilize the broader Middle East.

Sources indicate that Netanyahu spoke with Trump at a time when the U.S. president had told reporters that he received intelligence suggesting Iranian authorities had eased executions of anti-regime protesters. The conversation came as Washington considered a range of options in response to Tehran’s crackdown on dissent and its regional activities.

Earlier, Netanyahu also held discussions with U.S. Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday, coinciding with a White House meeting of senior officials reviewing potential military strategies targeting Iran. These talks reflected the administration’s ongoing evaluation of how to respond to Iran’s internal unrest while balancing regional security concerns.

The Israeli prime minister’s caution mirrors appeals from several Gulf states. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Egypt have reportedly urged the U.S. to avoid military action, warning that any strike could provoke a wider conflict in the region. Over the past two days, senior officials from these countries have actively engaged with U.S. policymakers to convey the risks associated with direct intervention.

Both Israeli and Arab officials reportedly fear that Iran would retaliate against their nations, either directly or through allied militias, if the United States launched attacks. Observers say Gulf states are coordinating messaging with Tehran to discourage aggressive responses and reduce tensions.

Despite these warnings, U.S. military options remain under consideration. Officials note that President Trump has not dismissed the possibility of action, and any decision will largely depend on developments in Iran, including the handling of ongoing protests and political unrest.
