Officials in Israel tried to carry out an attack in Iran last weekend. According to the report, the United States opposed the attack at this stage, but there was talk of a joint operation at a later date. CNN reported that Netanyahu pushed to attack Iran before the Israeli elections, but did not receive a "green light" from Trump. Among the reasons for not giving approval, according to the report, was a conversation between Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the US, during which Zamir warned that such a step could "harm the integrity of the elections."
