Trump speaks with Netanyahu as Iran evacuates airport, analyst warns of strategic trap

President Donald Trump is currently speaking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, amid reports of mass evacuations at Iran's Mehrabad Airport ahead of a possible strike. An Israeli analyst warns that attacking Iran could hand Trump a pretext to blame Israel for sabotaging a nuclear deal, while a strike solely on Hezbollah in Lebanon would face less US opposition and achieve strategic goals. Reports indicate debris of Iranian missiles fell in rural western Daraa, southern Syria.
