President Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday evening after meeting with his national security team about the escalating war between Israel and Iran, an Israeli official told Axios.

U.S. intelligence agencies say Iran is not trying to build a nuclear weapon. Israel says it is - and President Donald Trump agrees. How that dichotomy is resolved may determine whether the United States enters what is already a deadly and destructive war.

Donald Trump was shaking hands at a picnic with lawmakers after pushing for more diplomacy with Iran. Israel ignored his pleas.
