Netanyahu will have no choice but to accept deal

Trump has just told the Financial Times that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have no choice but to agree to whatever deal the US strikes with Iran.

"He won’t have any choice," Trump told the Financial Times over the phone. "I call the shots. I call all the shots. He [Netanyahu] doesn’t call the shots."

Trump told Axios earlier that he was going to ask Netanyahu not to retaliate against Iran for the latest attack to make sure the three sides could salvage a deal.

Trump told the Financial Times that the latest strikes have not had "any impact on the deal".

"We’ll see how it ends up," Trump said. "It’s one of those things that’s been going for 3,000 years, or 47 years, depending on how you count."
