Why Trump Suddenly Paused Iran Strikes, Was Netanyahu Afraid Of Khamenei’s Next Big Move In Israel?

U.S. outlets Axios and The New York Times report that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu personally asked President Donald Trump to “postpone” planned strikes on Iran so Israel could first reinforce its missile defenses and better prepare for potential Iranian retaliation. These reports say Israeli officials also warned that limited U.S. attacks on Iranian military sites might fail to destabilize the regime and instead trigger a wider regional war, even as sources cited by Axios describe Washington “reassessing” while insisting the Iranian regime will eventually fall unless Ayatollah Khamenei speaks directly to Trump. Trump’s tone toward Iran has since softened: on January 14 he told reporters he’d received assurances that killings and executions had stopped, and The Times of Israel noted this shift came right after a phone call with Netanyahu, while the White House later confirmed the call but declined to discuss details.
