Israel reviews Iran strategy amid diplomatic efforts by Washington

Israel reviews Iran strategy amid diplomatic efforts by Washington Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held "security consultations with senior ministers and defence officials" to discuss developments related to Iran, as Israel closely monitors ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran, according to Israeli media reports.

The reports said officials assessing the situation warned that a failure to reach an agreement in the coming weeks could increase the likelihood of renewed military confrontation between Israel and Iran.

The consultations followed comments by US President Donald Trump indicating that planned strikes against Iran had been cancelled and that a broader regional understanding could be close.
