Trump's 'hand-washing gimmick' in war against Iran amid spat with Netanyahu?

Recent international media reports highlight apparent friction between U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, particularly concerning military operations targeting Iran. The reported disagreements stem from Israel's ongoing military aggressions in the region.

In one instance, Trump reportedly rebuked Netanyahu with strong language, calling his actions "crazy" after a large-scale aggression into Lebanon drew international condemnation. More recently, Trump allegedly advised Netanyahu against retaliatory strikes on Iran, warning that such actions would further isolate Israel on the global stage.

Trump expressed confidence that a deal to end the conflict with Iran would materialize soon, predicting it would lead to a "total victory" for the U.S. and a significant drop in oil prices. However, the close relationship between the U.S. and Israel makes the reported feud seem unusual, especially given their alleged joint planning of a significant military strike against Iran on February 28.

Trump had previously justified such attacks, which reportedly killed thousands, using various pretexts, including combating terrorism and preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons. The article suggests that these public disputes may not reflect a genuine estrangement, as both leaders appear to have been instrumental in past military actions against Iran.

This will be a total victory. It will happen very soon, and the price of oil will drop.
