Trump Assured Israel No Iran Deal without Dismantling Nuclear Program, Official says
(Ynet News) Amir Ettinger - U.S. President Donald Trump gave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu assurances that he would not sign a final agreement with Iran unless Tehran dismantles its nuclear program and removes all enriched uranium from its territory, a senior Israeli official said on Sunday. According to the official, Netanyahu told Trump in a call Saturday night that Israel would preserve freedom of action against threats on all fronts, including Lebanon. Trump backed that principle, the official said. Netanyahu, the official said, expressed appreciation for Trump's "long-standing and extraordinary commitment" to Israel's security. Even after the Israeli official's statement, it remains unclear what threats are covered by Israel's promised "freedom of action." In Gaza, and now especially in Lebanon, Israeli forces operate under significant restrictions shaped in practice by Washington.
