Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned US President Donald Trump yesterday against agreeing to a ceasefire with Iran at this stage in the war, a senior Israeli official tells Channel 12 news.
On Sunday, Netanyahu ostensibly called Trump to congratulate him on the rescue of an American F-15 crew member in Iran, but in practice called to express concern that a ceasefire carries significant risks, according to the official.
Trump, for his part, told Netanyahu that a truce remains possible if US demands are met by Iran, but stressed that he would not give up on his demand that Tehran hand over all of its enriched uranium and agree not to resume enrichment, the official adds.
Officials close to Trump cited by Channel 12 say that while the president wants an agreement, Iran’s current position is unlikely to allow for a deal in the foreseeable future.
