U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the possibility of new strikes on Iran in 2026 at a meeting in Florida on December 29, Axios reported referring to an US official.
According to the official, Trump would likely support such strikes if the US finds that Iran is taking concrete steps to restore its nuclear program.
