Israel Criticizes U.S. Approach to Iran Nuclear Program Amid Senate Vote on War Powers
Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir criticized the U.S. as "very naive" for expecting Iran to abandon its nuclear program, emphasizing Israel's intent to confront the threat independently. Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate voted 50-48 to limit President Trump's military actions against Iran amid concerns over rising energy prices and the Strait of Hormuz blockade. A Reuters poll indicates only 25% of Americans believe the war was worth its costs, with many doubting the durability of a peace truce.
