U.S. President Donald Trump speaks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid ongoing strikes involving Iran, according to multiple reports. Trump says he tells Netanyahu to apply “a lot of common sense,” and he adds that if he instructs the Israeli leader to do something, “he does it.” The comments come in the context of Trump describing an earlier situation in which Netanyahu appeared to disregard a request from the White House. While the reports focus on Trump’s remarks about Netanyahu’s response to U.S. guidance, they do not provide additional specific details about the nature, timing, or scope of the Iran-related strikes beyond indicating that such strikes are underway. The outlets agree on the central message from Trump: he emphasizes the value of common sense and portrays Netanyahu as following his directions when he chooses to give them. The reporting also aligns on the broader theme that the relationship between U.S. and Israeli decision-making is being publicly discussed in light of events involving Iran.
