The Iran War is exposing cracks between the U.S. and Israel.

That's where we're starting the seven from the Washington Post.

I'm Hannah Jewell. It's Friday, March 20th.

Let's get you caught up with today's seven stories.

When the U.S. and Israel initiated the war against Iran last month,

their messages were largely in sync. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu both called on Iranians to overthrow the regime of the Islamic Republic. But nearly three weeks into the

conflict, the war aims of the two allies are diverging. While Trump imagined a quick military victory

with only modest economic pain, Netanyahu had grander visions of toppling a regime he has sought to vanquish for 40 years.

On Wednesday, Trump distanced himself from Israel's attack on an Iranian gas field.

That attack drove energy prices higher and prompted retaliatory Iranian missile fire at U.S. allies in the Gulf.

One senior U.S. administration official told the post that while Netanyahu wants to, quote, wreck Iran's economy and decimate its energy infrastructure,

Trump wants to keep it intact. The war has been unpopular in the U.S. and is a political hazard for Trump.

But according to polling by the Israel Democracy Institute,

93% of Jewish Israelis support the war.

So, continuing it, serves Netanyahu politically.

Trump joked about Pearl Harbor right next to Japan's prime minister. That's number two.

Yesterday, Trump hosted Sanai Takaichi for a meeting at the White House.
