Israel doesn’t know if Trump will pull out of Iran deal — source

US President Donald Trump has not informed Israel of whether he will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal it opposes by a May 12 deadline, a senior Israeli official says.

The comments come as Israel pushes its case to have the deal changed or eliminated, arguing intelligence documents it recently unveiled on Iran’s alleged nuclear ambitions helped demonstrate why.

“In effect, I don’t know what Trump will decide because he hasn’t told me,” the senior Israeli says on condition of anonymity, making clear Israel had not yet been informed of Trump’s decision.

The official adds, however, that “I think that he has the same skeptical view.”
