Trump says Israel never talked him into war with Iran

On Monday, President Donald Trump denied that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pressured him into the war with Iran, citing the October 7, 2023, Hamas terror attack as his primary motivation.
Critics and reports allege Netanyahu influenced the decision, but Trump rejected these claims, arguing he believed Iran would "attack first" if negotiations continued without military action.
Tensions surged Sunday after the U.S. Navy fired on and seized the Iranian-flagged cargo ship TOUSKA for violating the naval blockade, prompting Iranian military officials to threaten retaliation against what they called "piracy."
Following the seizure, Iran announced it will not participate in upcoming peace talks, while oil prices rose approximately 7 percent Sunday amid concerns over Strait of Hormuz disruptions.
