The New York Times reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged US President Donald Trump to delay any potential American strike on Iran, as Washington reassesses its options.
According to the report, the two spoke over the past day, shortly after Trump said he had heard "on good authority" that the killing of protesters in Iran had stopped, signaling a possible shift from his recent threats of military action.
At a White House press briefing, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the administration warned Tehran that continued killings would bring consequences, adding that Trump was later informed that roughly 800 executions that had been scheduled were called off - though Iran has not publicly confirmed that such plans existed. Asked about the New York Times report, Leavitt confirmed the call between Trump and Netanyahu but declined to comment on what was discussed.
