McGurk told CBS that Netanyahu raised the possibility of military action against Iran while negotiations over the release of hostages in Gaza were underway.
He said U.S. officials had agreed that Washington would strike Fordow if Iran moved to rapidly develop a nuclear weapon.
According to McGurk, the U.S. saw no evidence that Iran had taken such a step and warned Tehran against doing so, while Netanyahu was nevertheless “clearly contemplating” military action.
