Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump discussed the possibility of renewing fighting against Iran over phone, Israel’s state-owned Kan TV news reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The broadcaster, citing a senior Israeli official, said the United States is expected to carry out attacks jointly with Israel if it resumes the war against Iran, Xinhua news agency reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later in the evening, Netanyahu convened a cabinet meeting, during which the multiple fronts on which Israel is fighting were discussed, a government official told Xinhua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The developments came after Trump signaled that Washington could escalate its confrontation with Iran, warning in a post on his social media platform that “for Iran, the clock is ticking, and they better get moving, fast, or there won’t be anything left of them.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iran, the United States and Israel reached a ceasefire on April 8 after 40 days of fighting that started with US and Israeli attacks on Iran on February 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the truce, Iranian and US delegations held one round of peace talks in Pakistan’s Islamabad on April 11 and 12, which failed to yield an agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the past weeks, the two sides have reportedly exchanged several proposed plans outlining conditions for ending the conflict through Pakistani mediation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Trump warned that if Tehran failed to reach a peace agreement with the US, it would face “a very bad time\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“If they don\u2019t, they\u2019re going to have a bad time. A very bad time. They had better make a deal,” Trump told French media. He also shared an AI-generated graphic of him and a US Navy admiral in front of stormy waters, and the line: “It was calm before the storm.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
