On June 15, Netanyahu pledged that Iran will never acquire
nuclear weapons as long as he leads Israel, distancing himself from President
Trump's preliminary deal with Tehran that aims to end hostilities, reopen the
Strait of Hormuz, and set up future talks.
He hailed recent
U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites as eliminating an immediate
threat and affirmed Israel's right to act independently against dangers like
Hezbollah.
The remarks highlight tensions with Trump, who fumed over an Israeli strike nearly derailing talks, while Israeli critics across the spectrum question the deal's effectiveness amid vague details and persistent proxy threats.
