According to the Wall Street Journal, US President Donald Trump had a tense and heated phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday evening. According to sources, Netanyahu strongly criticized the agreement aimed at ending the war with Iran during the call, while Trump defended the diplomatic process. Israel has long been skeptical about whether Iran will adhere to any agreement to dismantle its nuclear program and halt attacks on regional countries. According to insiders, Netanyahu reiterated these positions to Trump during calls on both last Sunday and Tuesday. However, Trump was not convinced. He told Netanyahu that he would continue to push for an agreement to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Trump also stated that if Iran fails to show greater flexibility in negotiations, it may face a new round of strikes. (Golden Ten)
