WSJ: Trump to support possible new Israeli strike on Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump will support a potential new Israeli strike on Iran if Tehran continues its nuclear programme, The Wall Street Journal reports.

“[Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu later told him in private, however, that if Iran resumed moving toward a nuclear weapon, Israel would carry out further military strikes. Trump responded that he favored a diplomatic settlement with Tehran, but didn’t otherwise object to the Israeli plan,” the publication stated.

According to the WSJ, Trump is expected to support a “new attack” by Israel if Iran takes steps toward building a nuclear bomb.
