Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged Monday that
Iran will never get nuclear weapons under his watch, crediting recent
U.S.-Israeli strikes with delaying Tehran's program by years.
He acknowledged the new U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding—which includes an immediate ceasefire, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, asset releases, and future nuclear talks—as Trump's decision, while stressing Israel's duty to act independently against threats from Iran or Hezbollah.
The remarks underscore tensions with President Trump, who criticized Netanyahu's recent strikes, as the deal heads to signing in Switzerland on June 19 amid unresolved questions on Iran's nuclear future.
