Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussed the possibility of U.S. intervention in Iran, according to a report.
The two leaders spoke by phone Saturday as Israel is on „high alert,“ preparing for the possibility of U.S. military intervention in Iran, according to Reuters, citing multiple Israeli sources.
The report comes as nationwide anti-regime demonstrations across Iran hit the two-week mark.
On Saturday, the Iranian regime triggered an internet „kill switch“ in an apparent effort to conceal alleged abuses by security forces and as protests against it surged nationwide, according to a cybersecurity expert. The blackout reduced internet access to a fraction of normal levels.
On Sunday, Iran’s parliament speaker warned that the U.S. military and Israel would be „legitimate targets“ if America strikes the Islamic Republic.
Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf issued the threat as lawmakers rushed the dais in the Iranian parliament, shouting, „Death to America!“ according to The Associated Press.
President Donald Trump offered support for the protesters on Saturday, writing on Truth Social that „Iran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before. The USA stands ready to help!!!“

At a news conference Friday, Trump said Iran was facing mounting pressure as unrest spreads across the country.
„Iran’s in big trouble,“ he said. „It looks to me that the people are taking over certain cities that nobody thought were really possible just a few weeks ago. We’re watching the situation very carefully.“
The president said the U.S. would respond forcefully if the regime resorts to mass violence.
„We’ll be hitting them very hard where it hurts. And that doesn’t mean boots on the ground, but it means hitting them very, very hard where it hurts,“ he said.
