US President Donald Trump has stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be compelled to accept any agreement made by the US with Iran. Trump emphasized his authority in the decision-making process, indicating that Netanyahu does not have the final say.
Trump’s remarks came in response to Iran’s recent launch of ballistic missiles towards Israel, breaching the existing ceasefire agreement. Following this incident, the US and Israel conducted joint strikes on key Iranian targets, leading to retaliatory actions by Iran, including the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Despite a temporary ceasefire brokered in April, long-term peace negotiations between the US and Iran have faced challenges. Trump expressed his determination to finalize a deal with Iran, unaffected by the recent escalations.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump mentioned that he would direct Netanyahu to refrain from retaliating against Iran. He affirmed that the ongoing conflict would not impede the potential US-Iran agreement.
Trump reassured that any developments in the conflict would not hinder the progress of the deal. He hinted at potential actions if the deal failed based on its merits, including a commando raid on Iran or the continuation of a blockade.
Trump’s comments regarding Netanyahu came after a contentious phone call between the two leaders, where Trump reportedly criticized Netanyahu’s actions and emphasized his support for Israel in the international arena.
