Trump and Netanyahu discuss who initiated U.S. military action against Iran

President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have been publicly discussing who was responsible for initiating U.S. military action against Iran. Trump stated that Israel did not force the U.S. to launch the operation, while Netanyahu dismissed claims that he dragged Trump into the conflict.

Analysts cited in reports suggest the strikes against Iran benefited Israel more than the United States. The discussion comes amid reports that Iranian state television was briefly hacked with images of Trump and Netanyahu before a broadcast blackout.
