While departing the US, Netanyahu said he's skeptical of a deal with Iran but that Trump is 'creating conditions' for achieving a 'good one'
President Trump said on Thursday that it would be “very traumatic” for Iran if Washington and Tehran don’t reach a nuclear deal, echoing threats he made last year in the lead-up to the 12-Day War.
“We have to make a deal with Iran, otherwise it’s going to be very traumatic, very traumatic. I don’t want that to happen, but we have to make a deal,” Trump told reporters a day after holding talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.
“We had a very good meeting yesterday with Bibi Netanyahu, and he understands. But it’s ultimately up to me. If the deal isn’t a very fair deal and a very good deal with Iran, it’s going to be a very difficult time for them,” Trump added.
The US president was asked if there was a timeline for a deal and said, “I guess over the next month … They should agree very quickly.”
Netanyahu said as he was departing the US that Trump was creating “conditions” that could lead to a “good deal,” though from Israel’s perspective, a “good” agreement would require Iran to impose limits on its ballistic missiles, a demand that is a non-starter for Tehran and likely designed to collapse diplomacy.
