Netanyahu says spoke with Trump, vows to protect Israel’s interests

Netanyahu said Israel is dismantling Iran’s missile and nuclear programs while continuing strikes amid US-Iran talks seen as chance to protect Israel’s vital interests.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump called off strikes on Iranian power plants after posting on Truth Social about "VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST."
  • The U.S. seeks a deal to avoid economic shocks from the war, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has historically pursued maximalist objectives including regime change in Tehran as Israel's primary geopolitical concern.
  • Despite diplomatic efforts, the Israeli Air Force continues hitting Hezbollah and recently eliminated two nuclear scientists, while volatile oil prices have peaked at nearly $120 per barrel on two days since the war began.
  • Netanyahu voiced optimism that an agreement could protect Israel's "vital interests," though he emphasized the IDF will maintain pressure on Iran and Hezbollah until such a deal is reached.
  • Iran denied any talks took place, with parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf accusing Trump of trying to "manipulate the financial and oil markets" with his Monday comments.
