Trump: US to Decide When Iran War is Over
It is the US that decides when the war against Iran is over, Donald Trump tells the Times of Israel. But the US president will hold talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before making such a decision.
The newspaper asked the US president if Netanyahu has any say in when it comes to ending the war.
– It is mutual, to a certain extent. We have talked. I will make a decision at the right time, but everything will be taken into account, says Trump, emphasizing that he has the final say.
