U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a tense call focused on a proposed framework aimed at preventing renewed conflict with Iran, according to sources cited by Israel’s Channel 12. Trump reportedly discussed a potential “letter of intent” involving the U.S. and Iran that could lead to ending the war and launching 30 days of additional negotiations on issues including the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s nuclear program. Netanyahu reportedly expressed skepticism and urged continued military pressure on Iran. Arab mediators including Qatar, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt are said to be promoting a revised draft proposal, though sources said it remains unclear whether Iran would accept the terms.
