The newspaper noted that Trump told Netanyahu he preferred reaching a diplomatic settlement with Tehran but would not oppose the Israeli plan.
The paper also quoted an Israeli official as saying that Tel Aviv will base its decision on how serious Iran's attempt is to revive its nuclear program and emphasized that Israel will not necessarily seek explicit US approval to resume strikes against Tehran.
