The Israeli prime minister said the US president has always been fully on board with his rationale for the war
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denied claims that he dragged the United States into a costly war with Iran, which has entered its third week with no end in sight.
Democrats and some Republicans have argued that by launching strikes on Iran in late February, Trump embarked on a “forever war” on Israel’s behalf. Most recently, Joe Kent, who resigned as head of the US National Counterterrorism Center, claimed that Trump and his team were swayed by what he described as a “powerful” Israeli lobby.
“Does anyone really think that someone can tell President Trump what to do? Come on,” Netanyahu said during a press conference on Thursday, adding that Trump “always makes his decisions based on what he thinks is good for America.”
“I misled no one, and I didn’t have to convince President Trump about the need to prevent Iran from developing its nuclear program, putting it underground, and being able to launch nuclear-tipped missiles at the United States. He understood that,” the prime minister continued.
