- Trump and Netanyahu discussed all Iran options including a potential attack at a White House meeting, according to an Israeli official cited by Reuters
- Netanyahu framed the decision on how to proceed with Iran as his own, while Politico characterized the posture as "playing it safe" in a Washington that has "cooled on Israel"
Why it matters: Multiple outlets frame the strike call as Netanyahu's alone, while Politico's headline — "cooled on Israel" — signals a narrower base of US political backing than in prior US-Israel military coordination on Iran, leaving any unilateral move more exposed.
