Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that US President Donald Trump is the first decision-maker in the Iran war, denying that he tried to persuade him to continue the confrontation. He confirmed in an interview with ABC News that he did not try during his meeting with President Trump to persuade him to resume attacks on Iran, noting that he discussed with Trump continuing the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz or taking military measures. Netanyahu stressed that the relationship between the United States and Israel is witnessing close coordination, pointing out that the challenges posed by Iran still exist. Netanyahu expressed skepticism about the possibility of reaching a real diplomatic solution with the Iranian regime, describing Tehran's methods as permanent procrastination and evasion. Netanyahu stressed that Iran has become weaker than ever, but ruled out the collapse of the Iranian regime in the foreseeable future, despite the passage of five months since the war.
