US President Donald Trump told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday that his threats to attack Iran are not helping, the Kan public broadcaster reports.

The negotiations with Iran are futile, Netanyahu told Trump during their 40-minute phone call yesterday. He argued that Iran is playing with the US, and all it’s trying to do is drag out talks.

Trump retorted that Netanyahu’s statements about attacking Iran aren’t helping while he is working on an agreement with Iran.

According to Channel 12, Trump told Netanyahu that attacking Iran was off-limits.
