In January 2026, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested President Trump postpone any potential U.S. military attack on Iran. This request coincides with ongoing nationwide protests in Iran and concerns that Iran might retaliate against Israel and other nations in the region. Several Arab nations, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Egypt, have also urged the Trump administration to refrain from attacking Iran, fearing a wider regional conflict. These Arab nations have reportedly been communicating with both Washington and Tehran, advising Iran against retaliatory attacks. The situation remains fluid, with the possibility of a U.S. attack dependent on Iran's response to the protests.
