Trump Declines Netanyahu’s Proposal to Promote Uprising in Iran
Netanyahu had suggested encouraging Iranian citizens to take to the streets during a recent discussion, but Trump opposed the idea, warning that demonstrators could be “mowed down,” as stated by sources familiar with the conversation.
Israeli officials reportedly believed that recent strikes targeting high-ranking Iranian figures, including security personnel, might destabilize the regime and create an environment for internal unrest. However, few Iranians participated in protests during the annual festival of fire.
While Netanyahu remains doubtful about achieving a deal with Iran, Trump is described as "still interested in pursuing a diplomatic path that would leave what's left of the regime in place," according to reports.
Since Feb. 28, the US and Israel have conducted airstrikes on Iranian territory, resulting in over 1,340 fatalities. Iran has retaliated with drone and missile attacks targeting Israel, as well as locations in Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf nations hosting US military assets, causing both casualties and damage to infrastructure while also disrupting global markets and air travel.
