President Donald Trump has expressed pessimism about the prospects of reaching a new agreement with Iran, as Israel waits for a decision from Washington on how to proceed. Israeli officials indicated they are prepared with additional plans in the coming weeks but are seeking a green light from the United States before taking further action.

Israeli leaders remain doubtful that a deal can be achieved. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has conveyed to Trump that any ceasefire arrangement must require Iran to surrender all enriched uranium and commit to a complete halt of uranium enrichment, reflecting Israel’s firm stance on preventing Iran from advancing its nuclear capabilities.
