00:01A reported phone call between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly turned
00:07into a shouting match. The reason? Future of the Iran war. While Israel's prime minister
00:14is pushing Washington to resume military strikes against Tehran, the U.S. president appears
00:20determined to give diplomacy another chance. And according to Israeli media reports, the
00:25disagreement between the two leaders has become increasingly difficult to contain.
00:30Let's break down what happened. According to Israeli news outlets Yadief and Yediah Ahranoff,
00:38Trump and Netanyahu had a heated telephone conversation over the weekend. Sources quoted
00:44in the reports described the exchange as a shouting match from hell. Netanyahu reportedly
00:50pressed Trump to restart military operations against Iran, arguing that renewed attacks
00:56and regime change were necessary to eliminate the threat posed by Tehran. But Trump reportedly
01:03disagreed. The U.S. president has favored continuing negotiations with Iran while maintaining economic
01:10pressure to push Tehran towards diplomatic concessions. In simple terms, Netanyahu wants military action.
01:17Trump wants to see whether diplomacy can deliver results. However, there is an important
01:23qualification. The Israeli prime minister's office has rejected reports of a confrontation,
01:29dismissing them as fake news. A senior Israeli official confirmed that the leaders spoke over the
01:36weekend, but denied that the conversation became hostile. This is not the first time the two leaders
01:42have reportedly clashed over Iran. During earlier disagreements in June, Trump told the New York Post
01:49that he had called Netanyahu crazy during one conversation. And the latest reports come just
01:56days after the Financial Times reported that Netanyahu had been calling Trump daily to persuade him
02:02to resume an all-out war against Iran. Meanwhile, Netanyahu has continued to publicly defend his position.
02:09Addressing the Knesset on Tuesday, he argued that removing Iran's current leadership was the only
02:16way to permanently eliminate what he described as an existential threat. He also warned that Tehran was
02:23working to renew its nuclear threat. But Trump has shown little appetite for immediately returning to
02:29war. In an interview with CBS 60 Minutes on Sunday, he was asked whether military action on Iran could
02:36resume. His response was clear. He did not think there was any reason to. The disagreement also comes at a
02:44politically sensitive moment for Netanyahu, who is facing uncertainty following his party's losses in
02:50Israel's October general election. So the central question now is whether Washington and Tel Aviv can
02:57maintain a common strategy on Iran. For Netanyahu, renewed military action remains a priority. For Trump,
03:05negotiations and economic pressure appear to be the preferred path. And while Israel denies that the latest
03:12phone call became a confrontation, the reported disagreement highlights a growing divide between two leaders who
03:19who have long presented themselves as close allies.
