Trump States Decision on Ending Iran Conflict to Be Made Jointly with Israeli PM Netanyahu

Washington D.C. -- US President Donald Trump has stated that the decision on when to end the ongoing conflict against Iran will be made by mutual agreement between himself and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to the Israeli newspaper Times of Israel, Trump mentioned during a telephone interview that he and Netanyahu are in continuous discussion.

‘We are talking. We will make a decision at the right time,’ Trump said. During the interview, Trump was asked whether Israel could continue the war against Iran alone if the US decided to stop the attack.

Trump declined to comment on the possibility of this scenario, indicating that such a situation is unlikely, saying, ‘I do not think that will be necessary.’

Meanwhile, Mojtaba Khamenei, the younger son of the late leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been chosen as the new Supreme Leader in Iran. Trump also did not wish to give a direct reaction regarding the selection of Mojtaba as the Supreme Leader.

 ‘Let's see what happens,’ he said with a brief reaction. However, Trump had previously expressed dissatisfaction with Mojtaba Khamenei's potential leadership. ‘Khamenei's son is not acceptable to me,’ he had said.
