Israel was preparing to launch military strikes against multiple nuclear targets in Iran—until U.S. President Donald Trump intervened, according to a New York Times report citing administration officials and other briefed on the discussions.

A report said the goal was to set back the Islamic republic’s ability to develop a nuclear weapon by a year or more.

Israel's defence minister says troops will stay in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria indefinitely, complicating ceasefire and hostage negotiations.
