Netanyahu Faces Political Fallout as Trump Pushes Iran Deal

Trump told Netanyahu a deal with Iran is imminent and ‘a great deal’ to end the war; Netanyahu, who had hoped to derail the accord, is privately skeptical and largely sidelined as Washington pushes forward. While officials in Washington and Tehran say a deal is close, Israel frets it may lose leverage and see limited nuclear concessions, plus constraints on acting against Hezbollah due to a Lebanon ceasefire. U.S. aides insist Israel will come on board once terms are clear and concessions from Iran are delivered, but the process remains fragile amid Lebanon and Tehran-driven uncertainties.
