  "summary": "Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump discussed the possibility of a major joint operation against Iran during several calls over the past two weeks, according to an Axios report citing US and Israeli officials. Netanyahu reportedly raised concerns regarding intelligence suggesting Iran is taking steps to reconstitute its nuclear program, specifically expressing worry that the country might operate Pickaxe Mountain as a uranium enrichment site. The discussions allegedly covered potential strikes on Iranian military and nuclear facilities.\n\nThe White House has disputed these claims, with an official calling the account false and stating that the President has said there will be no attacks on Iran prior to the midterm elections. Despite disagreements between the two leaders, sources told Axios that both US and Israeli militaries remain on alert and are finalizing preparations in the event that Trump changes his mind.",
