US President Trump and Netanyahu discussed Iran in a 2nd phone call, according to Axios
- The White House and the prime minister's office declined to comment.
- During their first call on Wednesday, Netanyahu asked Trump to hold off on military action against Iran to give Israel more time to prepare for potential Iranian retaliation.
- It was one of the reasons Trump decided to delay orders for the U.S. military to move forward with a strike against Iran.
- U.S. officials say military action is still on the table if Iran resumes killing protesters. Israeli officials think that despite the delay, a U.S. military strike could take place in the coming days.
