Israeli officials claim that the recent attack on Iran was conducted with Donald Trump's approval, anticipating potential US involvement in the conflict. The timing of the Israeli action coincided with a 60-day ultimatum set by Trump regarding Iran's nuclear program. Netanyahu delayed the operation until the deadline was reached on April 12, after which Israeli forces launched the attack. Despite Trump's earlier reluctance to avoid escalating tensions, the attack went ahead, raising questions about diplomatic negotiations with Iran.
In the Israeli version of events, an agreement in principle dates back to a letter Trump sent to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in March, giving Iran 60 days to accept tight constraints on its nuclear programme.
Israeli officials have said it would have been unthinkable for prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to have ordered the attack in the early hours of Friday morning against Trump's wishes, and that there was little ambiguity about the US leader's preferences.
