Trump says Netanyahu would have to accept any U.S.-negotiated deal with Iran

Sunday, June 7, 2026U.S. PoliticsWell-covered3 frames

Trump said Netanyahu would have to accept any deal the United States negotiates with Iran.
In the interview, Trump said, "He won't have any choice" and said he, not Netanyahu, would decide the U.S. approach.
Trump said Iran's missile strikes on Israel would not change his desire to conclude U.S.-Iran negotiations.
Trump's remarks came after Iran launched missiles at Israel.
Multiple reports described the missile launch as Iran's first attack on Israel since the April 8 ceasefire.
Israeli authorities said air-defense systems were intercepting the missiles and issued public safety directives.
The renewed Iran-Israel tensions prompted wider regional and humanitarian effects, including Israel's closure of Gaza crossings and airspace closures announced by Iran, Iraq, and Syria.
What remains unresolved is whether the fighting will de-escalate and whether diplomacy will continue; Trump said he would tell Netanyahu not to retaliate, while the UK called on both Iran and Israel to show restraint and keep negotiations going.

How left and right are reading this

Both agree: Washington, not Netanyahu, will decide the U.S. approach to Iran under Trump's stated position, and he is sticking with negotiations despite Iran's missile strikes as wider regional disruption makes restraint and continued diplomacy more consequential.
They split on: Less a disagreement than a question of emphasis: U.S. independence from Netanyahu in setting Iran policy, versus the regional and humanitarian stakes riding on restraint and whether diplomacy survives renewed fighting.
