Trump on Iran Deal: 'I Make the Decisions, Netanyahu Won't Have a Choice'

U.S. President Donald Trump declared that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be compelled to accept any agreement the United States brokers with Iran, asserting that the final decisions rest with him. "He will have no choice," Trump was quoted as saying in an interview with the Financial Times.

This assertion comes at a time of heightened regional tensions. Israel reportedly attacked the outskirts of Beirut on Sunday, shortly after the U.S. announced a peace plan for Lebanon. In response, Iran launched missiles toward Israeli targets, further jeopardizing broader peace negotiations.

Iran had previously indicated that any peace agreement with the U.S. would be contingent on a ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel launched an operation in Lebanon in March targeting pro-Iranian Hezbollah fighters who had initiated cross-border fire into Israel in solidarity with Tehran.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced that their Sunday night attacks on Israel served as a "warning" for a broader response that could encompass all U.S. and Israeli targets in the region if such "aggression" were repeated.
