Underground Iran Site Reveals Trump-Netanyahu Rift on Iran Strategy

Netanyahu brought new intelligence about Iran’s underground site Pickaxe Mountain to Washington, but Trump downplayed it and suggested keeping details private, leaving no public decision on how to respond. Experts say the real split is Trump’s preference for diplomacy versus Netanyahu’s sense that more military action may be needed. The meeting produced little public alignment, while U.S. strikes on Iran and broader regional tensions continued, with ongoing debates over Lebanon/Hezbollah and potential Saudi-Israeli normalization.
