As the war between the US-Israel and Iran enters its 27th day, a claim reported in the US press has made a significant impact. US President Donald Trump rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's suggestion to call for a popular movement in Iran. It has been learned that during the meeting, Trump objected by saying, "What would be the purpose of telling people to go out into the streets?"
According to the claim by the U.S.-based Axios, a striking proposal was brought up during the meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
NETANYAHU SAID "WE HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY"
According to the news, Netanyahu argued that the regime in Iran has weakened and instability in the country has increased, stating that this has created a "window of opportunity." In this context, it was suggested that Netanyahu proposed the two leaders make a simultaneous statement calling on the Iranian people to take to the streets.
TRUMP REJECTED THE PROPOSAL
However, according to claims, Trump was not receptive to this proposal. It was reported that the U.S. President rejected the offer, expressing concerns that such a call could lead to serious violence and massacres. Among the claims was that Trump objected by asking, "What would be the purpose of telling people to go out into the streets?"
On the other hand, it is known that Netanyahu has previously made statements giving messages to the Iranian people and argued that the military processes conducted in conjunction with the U.S. offer a "freedom opportunity."
NO OFFICIAL STATEMENT HAS BEEN MADE
These claims reveal that despite the strategic cooperation between the U.S. and Israel, different approaches regarding Iran policy can sometimes come to the fore. No official confirmation regarding the matter has been made by either party.
U.S. AND ISRAEL'S ATTACKS ON IRAN
While negotiations between the Tehran and Washington administrations continue, Israel and the U.S. launched a military attack on Iran on February 28. Iran responded with attacks on targets it identified in several regional countries, including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Bahrain, where U.S. bases are located, in addition to Israel.
In the U.S.-Israel attacks, Iranian leader Ali Khamenei, as well as many high-ranking officials, were killed. According to Iranian officials, the death toll from the U.S.-Israel attacks exceeded 1,348, and the number of injured surpassed 17,000.
