Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to be working President Donald Trump’s last nerve when it comes to Iran.With the White House closer to a deal than the Biden administration was ever in its four years of talking, Trump says an Israeli military strike on Tehran’s nuclear facilities would “not be appropriate.”
When asked Wednesday about a reported testy exchange with Netanyahu, Trump said he didn’t “warn” the prime minister, but was firm that he wanted to resolve the issue of Iran’s nuclear program with a deal, not war.
“We’re having very good discussions with [the Iranians] and I said I don’t think it is appropriate right now,” Trump told reporters. “If we can make a deal it will save a lot of lives.”
