“. . . But it does mean that he should make it clear to Netanyahu and Tehran that he will support Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure should diplomacy fail.

Dennis Ross and David Makovsky Foreign Affairs, Feb. 3, 2025 “Netanyahu, of course, cares more about staying prime minister than he does about pleasing Trump.
