Upcoming Book Details Secret Trump-Netanyahu Meeting on Iran
An upcoming book, as reported by Amu TV, describes a secret meeting on February 11 in the White House Situation Room between U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The classified briefing on Iran included Trump, Netanyahu, Mossad Director David Barnea and other Israeli officials appearing on screen, along with U.S. officials Susie Wiles, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, Gen. Dan Caine, John Ratcliffe, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. Vice President JD Vance was absent, traveling in Azerbaijan.
The gathering was kept small to prevent leaks, according to the book's account based on anonymous interviews. Netanyahu argued that conditions in Iran were ripe for regime change, aligning with Trump's hawkish instincts.
The book details internal debates within the administration and exclusions of certain figures. It claims the briefing was pivotal in Trump authorizing the United States to join Israel in a major attack on Iran, reflecting Trump's confidence in a quick resolution to the conflict.
No official confirmation of the meeting or its outcomes has been provided by the White House or Israeli government.
