Former President Donald Trump told the Financial Times that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have no choice but to accept a deal with Iran. The statement was made in an interview published on June 8, 2026.
Trump's comments come amid ongoing negotiations between world powers and Iran over its nuclear program. The former president did not provide specific details about the nature of the deal or the timeline for its acceptance.
This is not the first time Trump has weighed in on the Iran nuclear issue. During his presidency, he withdrew the United States from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018, calling it a 'horrible one-sided deal.'
As of June 8, 2026, there has been no official response from Prime Minister Netanyahu's office regarding Trump's statement. The situation remains fluid, with diplomatic efforts continuing.
