Israeli intelligence officials are urging the White House to reject Iran’s sudden request for nuclear negotiations, labeling the move a deceptive ploy to stall an imminent American military response. The high stakes game of brinkmanship between Washington and Tehran has reached a critical junction as Israeli officials warn that Iran is attempting to lure the United States into a "negotiation trap."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that while President Trump prefers a diplomatic resolution, he is not afraid to use military force.
