US EditionTrump says Israel never talked him into war with Iran
Trump said the Oct. 7 Hamas attack and his long-held view on Iran’s nuclear program drove his decision, not pressure from Netanyahu.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump denied on Truth Social that Israel influenced his decision to strike Iran, asserting instead that Hamas's October 7, 2023, attacks and his lifelong opposition to Iran's nuclear program drove the action.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the White House in February to advocate for strikes, with reports indicating his 'hard sell' presentation convinced Trump to approve the operation launched February 28, 2026.
- Critics and officials, including Rep. Ro Khanna, alleged Netanyahu manipulated the president into the war; Trump dismissed these claims as 'fake' media reports in his Monday post.
- With the two-week ceasefire expiring Wednesday, Iran rejected further peace talks in Pakistan following Sunday's U.S. Navy seizure of an Iranian-flagged cargo ship, intensifying diplomatic tensions.
- Failure to reach a new deal could reignite conflict and further disrupt global oil supplies, as recent polling shows record-low approval for Trump's handling of the war.
