Netanyahu: Israel finds it difficult to influence Trump's decision on Iran
According to multiple Israeli officials cited by Reuters, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu privately admitted that Israel is almost unable to intervene in US President Trump's decision on Iran, and the strategic priorities of the US and Israel on the Iran issue have diverged. The United States and Iran are discussing a preliminary memorandum of understanding, which may involve negotiations on the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and nuclear issues. Netanyahu holds a reserved attitude towards the agreement, concerned that it may not fully address the issue of Iran's nuclear program, and insists on retaining the right of the Israeli military to take military action.
