Iran-US war latest: Trump says Netanyahu will ‘do whatever I want’ after phone call with Israeli PM
Donald Trump has claimed Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu will do whatever is asked of him, insisting the pair are on the same page over negotiations to end the Iran war.
“He’s fine, he’ll do whatever I want him to do,” the US president told reporters at an airbase in Maryland, according to American media.
The comments came after a report by Israel’s Channel 12 of a “lengthy and dramatic” phone call about Trump’s decision to call off a return to military attacks.
“He’s a very- very good man. He’ll do whatever I want him to do. And he’s a great guy,” he added.
Earlier in the day, the US president declared that he is in no hurry to bring the war with Iran to an end.
The US leader told reporters on Wednesday that achieving the mission’s objectives was more important than setting a timeline for its conclusion.
Iran, meanwhile, said it will not surrender if the US restarts attacks.
Parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Galibaf said on Wednesday that “obvious and hidden moves by the enemy” showed that they were seeking a new round of war”.
