Trump: Asked Netanyahu Not to Attack Iranian Oil Fields, He Agreed

US President Donald Trump stated that he asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to attack Iranian oil fields and that Netanyahu agreed. Trump reiterated that he will not deploy troops to Iran, despite recent airstrikes. The American president mentioned that the US needs more funding for various reasons and argued that there are "many desertions" in Iranian leadership, with Tehran seeking new leaders. These statements come at a time of increased tension between the US and Iran, as well as between Israel and Iran, against the backdrop of military operations and sanctions.
