Trump dan Netanyahu Adu Argumen Lewat Telepon Soal Operasi Militer Iran

“A very terrible shouting conversation” took place between United States President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over military operations against Iran, Anadolu Agency reported on Wednesday.

The confrontation erupted during a phone call focused on disagreements over the possible resumption of war, according to sources cited by Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth. The Prime Minister’s office denied the report as false and nonsense, while a senior Israeli official confirmed the call happened without the tension.

“Netanyahu meneleponnya (Trump) setiap hari untuk mendesaknya melanjutkan perang. Mereka yang tidak menginginkan perang, baik di dalam maupun di luar Gedung Putih, telah berupaya mencegah hal itu. Para pemimpin kawasan meminta agar tidak terjadi eskalasi dan negosiasi lebih diprioritaskan,” a diplomat said, as reported by the Financial Times, in the heated exchange that follows reports that Netanyahu calls Trump every day to urge renewed military action against Tehran.

Regional Arab and Muslim leaders have expressed deep concern over the lobbying effort, urging Washington to prioritize diplomacy instead.

Gulf allies including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Kuwait oppose a new military campaign, Trump stated on Monday, November 9, 2026. He pointed to a positive momentum toward ending the conflict and assessed that the likelihood of fresh Washington strikes remains very small.

“Kampanye ekonomi (terhadap Iran) sangat melumpuhkan, sehingga saat ini tidak diperlukan operasi tempur besar-besaran,” United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, that Washington sees no urgent need to resume major combat operations against Iran amid rising diplomatic efforts.

He added that US forces remain ready to respond if Tehran violates established red lines.

Arab leaders fear that renewed military actions could drag the wider Middle East into a broader conflict. Past military exchanges between the allies and Iran occurred on February 28, followed by regional retaliations and an April ceasefire that left permanent peace unresolved.

Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon denied that Israel is to blame for triggering a major war between the US and Iran.

“Keputusan untuk menyerang Iran adalah keputusan Amerika Serikat. Itu bukan keputusan kami. Kami mendukung upaya AS, dan menurut kami itu adalah keputusan yang tepat,” Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon stated during an i24NEWS interview that the military strikes were purely an American decision, though Israel supported them as correct, according to CNN Indonesia.

The diplomatic frictions coincide with domestic political pressures in both countries. US Vice President JD Vance stated on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, that the war with Iran contributed to Republican losses in midterm elections.

Meanwhile, Qatari mediators reported receiving positive responses from both Washington and Tehran, though a final agreement remains unconfirmed. Diplomatic channels continue to operate as regional governments lobby against further escalation.
