Netanyahu: Israel Prepared to Act Alone Against Iran Nuclear Threat

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reiterated that Israel is prepared to act alone if necessary to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, insisting that only the complete dismantling of Iran's nuclear program would be acceptable. Netanyahu accused Iran of orchestrating regional threats, including the October 7 Hamas attack, and stressed that Israel seeks US support but not direct military involvement. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump stated he is open to negotiating a deal with Iran to resolve nuclear tensions, emphasizing a preference for diplomacy over military action but warning that he would lead a response if no agreement is reached. Trump also dismissed concerns that Israel could drag the US into war with Iran, clarifying that any US involvement would be his own decision if negotiations fail. Both leaders highlighted the risks of a bad deal with Iran, while Trump criticized the Biden administration for lifting sanctions and allowing Iran to regain financial strength. The situation underscores ongoing US-Israel coordination and divergent approaches to addressing the Iranian nuclear threat.
