Netanyahu Says Trump Alone Decides on Iran Actions, Denies Pressuring for Attacks

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated in an interview with ABC that U.S. President Donald Trump is the sole decision-maker regarding the continuation of the conflict with Iran. Netanyahu denied attempting to persuade Trump to resume military strikes during their recent meeting at the White House. He explained that they discussed three options: a comprehensive agreement with Tehran, continued blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, or further military action. "It is his decision. No one tells President Trump what to do," Netanyahu emphasized. He also described Iran as "weaker than ever," while acknowledging that the regime has not yet collapsed, but expressed confidence that it eventually will.
