The Financial Times reported Netanyahu pushed for a multi-day campaign around 10 October that did not go ahead because Trump opposed resuming hostilities before the midterms. Foreign Minister Araghchi told Iraqi state television the strait would not be open to everyone until an understanding was reached, and that talks continued through Pakistan and Qatar, The National reported.
