Israel was preparing to launch military strikes against multiple nuclear targets in Iran—until U.S. President Donald Trump intervened, according to a New York Times report citing administration officials and other briefed on the discussions.
Newsweek reached out to the White House for comment via email on Wednesday night.
The Context
Israel's reported decision to call off the strikes comes as tensions between Israel, Iran and its proxies continue to escalate and Iran recently flat-out rejected U.S. demands to curb its uranium enrichment.
