Why the U.S. and Israel Struck When They Did: A Chance to Kill Iran’s Leaders - WSJ
Trump got on the phone Thursday with his two envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, U.S. officials said. They told him the talks had gone badly: Tehran wasn’t willing to end its nuclear enrichment or dismantle its missile program, the officials said.
