WASHINGTON, Jun 8: US President Donald Trump has said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would have “no choice” but to accept an agreement with Iran, according to a report by the Financial Times, highlighting ongoing diplomatic pressure amid heightened regional tensions.
The remarks come as Trump is reported to have urged the Israeli leader not to carry out retaliatory strikes following Iran’s latest missile attack. According to the report, the US administration is seeking to prevent further escalation in the Middle East while negotiations over a potential Iran deal continue.
The Financial Times said Trump’s comments underscore Washington’s push to contain the conflict and maintain space for diplomatic talks, even as military tensions remain high between Israel and Iran.
When asked what steps he might take if a potential deal with Iran fails “on its merits,” Trump reportedly said he would consider a commando raid on Iran, signaling that military options have not been ruled out.
The developments reflect growing international concern over the risk of wider conflict in the region, as diplomatic efforts and military posturing continue in parallel.
