President Trump revealed Monday that he will confer with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about when to end the military campaign against Iran, suggesting the decision would be “mutual” between the US and its Middle Eastern ally.
“I think it’s mutual… a little bit,” Trump told The Times of Israel in a phone interview, adding that he and Netanyahu have “been talking.”
“I’ll make a decision at the right time, but everything’s going to be taken into account,” the president added.
Trump previously suggested that the war against Iran could last approximately four weeks, but other members of his administration have been reluctant to provide a specific timeline.
When asked about the selection of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran’s next Ayatollah to succeed his late father, Trump told the Israeli outlet that “we’ll see what happens” — having previously dismissed the younger Khamenei as a “lightweight” and “unacceptable to me.”
