Trump, Netanyahu, and the Iran War Negotiations
Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. They had another one of those clashes, I hear. Right there over what happens next in the whole Iran war. It was tense. They had this hour-long call, just hanging there.
Netanyahu wanted the airstrikes to start again. But Trump kept pushing that diplomacy had to come first. One more chance.
Axios mentioned that when they were talking about trying to get a deal with Iran—a real "difficult call"—some sources hinted that Netanyahu was really stressed. Like, his hair was on fire, apparently.
During that long chat, Trump laid out what he thought. He told Netanyahu that Qatar and Pakistan were actually working on some kind of "letter of intent." Something both the US and Israel would have to sign to formally end the fighting.
And then there was the timeline. After that letter signed? Thirty days. Thirty days to sort out the big stuff. Things like opening the Strait of Hormuz. And Iran’s nuclear program. That’s what the deal was supposed to cover.
The reality, though, is probably messier.
Israel’s sources said they just couldn't aGree on the direction. DisaGreement about how to move forward.
But Trump kept insisting they were fine. He maintained that they were totally aligned on the Iran plan.
He told reporters later, at the Coast Guard Academy, that Netanyahu would do whatever he wanted regarding the war. He added that they still had a good relationship.
It’s that tension that sticks. Despite the disaGreements they aired on the call, they kept coordinating things during the war. That’s the strange part.
The real question, everyone is wondering, is whether they actually finish it up. Or if they end up signing some document and just... wait.
Trump said something pretty pointed. He mentioned that the US and Iran were right on the borderline. Between making a deal and just starting the war again.
Earlier this week, there was talk about a military strike. An operation they called "Sledgehammer." That was put on hold, following requests from Gulf allies. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE.
Then you have the back-and-forth happening elsewhere. Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt. They’ve been trying to smooth things out. Fine-tune some proposal to try and narrow the gaps between the fighting sides.
Two Arab officials and an Israeli source told Axios that Qatar shared a revised draft proposal with the US and Iran recently.
But there’s a complication there. Some sources said there wasn't even an independent Qatari proposal floating around. Instead, Doha was just trying to reconcile differences in an earlier draft that Pakistan had backed.
One Arab official mentioned that Qatari reps actually traveled to Tehran this week. They were there to hash out the updated proposal with Iranian officials.
A Qatari diplomat put it plainly: they have been pushing for de-escalation. For the sake of the region, for the people. That’s what they keep saying.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry responded. They said negotiations were still going on. Based on Iran’s own 14-point proposal. And that Pakistan’s interior minister was in Tehran. Helping with the mediation. That was his second trip there in less than a week.
But there’s the sticking point, the real pressure.
The Iranian spokesperson made it clear what they needed. For negotiations to actually move, things had to change. The US had to stop its "piracy" against Iranian ships. And they had to release the frozen Iranian funds. And Israel, they said, had to stop the war in Lebanon.
It’s a tangled knot.
And all three sources—the ones talking about this—they cautioned that it’s still totally uncertain. Whether Iran will even accept this latest draft. Or if they’ll just completely change their stance. It’s all very shaky right now.
