In public, President Donald Trump has frequently boasted about the tentative peace deal his administration reached with Iran, but behind closed doors, the president has furiously “complained” to officials about fears of the war restarting, an adviser close to Trump told Zeteo for its report Friday.
“He’s swearing a lot about it,” the adviser told Zeteo, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Specifically, Trump fears that Israeli officials are targeting him in an effort to reignite the U.S. war against Iran, three other insiders told the outlet.
“During the past several days, Trump has aggressively complained to administration officials and other confidants that the Israelis are trying to trick him into restarting a full-blown war with Iran, three people with direct knowledge of the matter and another person briefed on it tell Zeteo,” the outlet reported.
In the first point of the 14-point memorandum of understanding agreed to by Washington and Tehran, a provision exists that explicitly calls for Israel to terminate its military operations in Lebanon, with the Israeli military currently occupying around 10% of the country. Israeli officials have remained defiant, however, and vowed not to cease its military campaign.
“At least right now, he’s definitely madder at the Israelis than the Iranians,” the close Trump adviser told Zeteo.
According to those who spoke with Zeteo, however, Israel’s defiance has only “driven Trump in the opposite direction” of restarting the war, the outlet reported.
