Trump warns Netanyahu not to act rashly to avoid jeopardizing Iran nuclear negotiations.

On May 28, a White House official and a source familiar with the details said that Trump warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a phone call last week not to take any action that could jeopardize negotiations between the United States and Iran on a new nuclear deal. In recent weeks, Mr. Trump and other senior U.S. officials have become increasingly concerned that Israel could bomb Iran's nuclear facilities or take other steps that could undermine negotiations, the official said. Israel has been preparing for a swift strike on Iran's nuclear facilities in the coming weeks when U.S.-Iran nuclear talks are likely to collapse. According to a source, Israel believes that the window for its successful operation against Iran may soon close. Some U.S. officials worry that Netanyahu may order the attack without Trump's green light. Trump told Netanyahu in a phone call last Thursday that he "doesn't want anything to get in the way" of a diplomatic solution with Iran, White House officials said. Trump's message was that "he doesn't want to confront him while he's trying to solve the problem." Trump stressed to Netanyahu that "other options" are also being considered, but he wants to see if a diplomatic solution is possible first.
