Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has privately urged US President Donald Trump not to go for a ceasefire with Iran at the moment and expressed concerns about the risks for such a move, according to reports. This comes as Trump threatened to escalate the US campaign in Iran, as a deadline for the opening of the Strait of Hormuz will expire on Tuesday.

Citing an Israeli official, Axios reported that Trump told Netanyahu that if Iran agrees to the US demands, a ceasefire could happen. However, he stressed he won’t give up on his demand that Iran hand over all of its enriched Uranium and agree not to resume enrichment.

This came after Netanyahu emphasised that Israel will continue to target and kill senior figures within Iran’s leadership, as part of a broader campaign to weaken what he described as the regime’s core capabilities. He said Israeli forces were “systematically dismantling" Iran’s infrastructure, including destroying factories and targeting operatives.
