Netanyahu and Trump Plan 2026 Sequel: Iran Strikes Back, Again
KEY POINTS
- •Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump met on December 30, 2025, to discuss possible new strikes on Iran in 2026.
- •Trump claimed the U.S. destroyed Iran’s nuclear program and threatened to repeat it if Iran rebuilds missiles.
- •No firm agreements were made, but a transition to phase two of the Gaza ceasefire is expected with a Davos meeting planned.
On a Monday pow-wow full of déjà vu, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu casually pitched a sequel to the June 12-day war against Iran for 2026, pitching it as if it were a Netflix Original that just can’t quit. Trump, still starring in 'The Art of the Nuclear Deal,' promised to 'destroy it again' if Iran dares reboot their nuclear drama, while diplomatically preference lounging on face-saving talks instead. Sources confirm this buddy cop scenario involved deep talks on Iran’s melodramatic missile rebuild solo and Hezbollah's extended cameo in Lebanon. No actual phase two military scripts were signed, but the stage is set for a potential Gaza spinoff announced at Davos on Jan 23, chaired by Trump himself. Iran’s officials sarcastically threatened a 'harsh' response, making this political drama look like an extended reality TV feud starring missiles, mistrust, and impending ceasefire reboot moments.
