Trump Says Ending Iran War Will Be a Joint Decision with Netanyahu
U.S. President Donald Trump has stated in an interview with The Times of Israel that the decision on when to end the ongoing war with Iran will be made in coordination with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to Trump, the two leaders have been discussing the conflict together, and while he will ultimately determine the timing, Netanyahu’s input will be taken into account.
In the interview, Trump described the decision as “mutual”—emphasizing close consultation between the United States and Israel as the conflict continues. He also indicated that once progress is made, Israel may not need to continue hostilities independently after the U.S. stops its strikes, though he did not specify a timeline for ending the war.
This remark highlights the tight strategic alignment between Washington and Jerusalem in managing the current confrontation with Iran, as both countries work together on military and diplomatic objectives amid heightened regional tensions.
