Reports
from Axios and others detail talks between Netanyahu and Trump on joint
U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting Iranian military and nuclear sites, potentially
timed before Israel's October 27 elections and U.S. midterms.
Netanyahu sees wartime leadership as politically helpful, while a senior U.S. official notes he raised the issue multiple times; Trump publicly ruled out action before November 3 voting. Both sides deny specifics the White House calls reports false, and no strikes are ordered amid heightened U.S. military alert and Iran's recent missile tests.
