Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel did not seek prior approval from then-US President Donald Trump before conducting a military operation against Iran in June of last year. He clarified that Trump was informed of the action *after* it occurred, rather than receiving permission beforehand. This disclosure challenges previous understandings of coordination between the two countries regarding sensitive military actions in the region. The statement was made during a press briefing and reported by Yonhap News Agency from Cairo. Netanyahu’s comments offer a new perspective on the dynamics of the US-Israel relationship during the Trump administration, specifically concerning Iran policy. This revelation could potentially impact current diplomatic efforts related to Iran’s nuclear program and regional stability. Further details regarding the nature of the military operation were not immediately available.
