The discussion centered on the justification for launching a complicated and geographically removed conflict against a nation that Trump had previously championed during his campaigns. Reports from international news outlets, as detailed by Telegrafi, indicated that both Trump and Netanyahu were aware, based on early-week intelligence, that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his key advisors were scheduled to convene at his Tehran complex.
