United States President Donald Trump has said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have to accept any agreement reached between Washington and Iran, emphasizing that the United States remains in control of the ongoing negotiations.
Eko Hot News reports that Trump made the remarks during a telephone interview with the Financial Times, where he stressed that the direction and outcome of discussions with Tehran would be determined by Washington.
According to the U.S. president, the negotiations are being handled under American leadership, adding that decisions regarding the process would not be dictated by Israel or any other party involved in the broader regional discussions.
Trump’s comments came shortly after renewed tensions between Iran and Israel raised concerns about the stability of a ceasefire arrangement that had been in place earlier this year.
Despite the latest developments, Trump maintained that the diplomatic process with Iran remains on course. He expressed confidence that ongoing discussions would continue without disruption and insisted that recent events would not influence the negotiations.
Speaking further, Trump said he still believes there is a pathway toward an agreement. However, he noted that the final outcome would depend on how the talks progress in the coming weeks.
The U.S. president also revealed that he would encourage Netanyahu to avoid actions that could complicate the negotiation process, stressing the importance of preserving the environment for diplomatic engagement.
Trump reiterated that the success of the discussions would ultimately depend on the merits of the agreement itself rather than external developments, adding that current efforts remain focused on reaching a workable understanding.
He also indicated that if negotiations fail to produce results, Washington could consider maintaining or strengthening existing economic restrictions on Iran as part of its broader policy approach.
The remarks underscore the Trump administration’s continued preference for diplomacy while keeping alternative policy options available should discussions with Tehran fail to achieve a breakthrough.
Observers continue to monitor developments closely as the United States and Iran pursue talks that could have significant implications for regional stability and international relations.
