Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims agreement with US President Donald Trump on the critical Iranian issue, warning that if appropriate steps are not taken, 'it will be a completely different world.' In an interview with ABC after his meeting with Trump, Netanyahu emphasized that he sees himself as the junior partner in the relationship but will continue to stand up for Israel's security interests. According to him, three main options were discussed: negotiations on a broad agreement with Tehran, continued blockade and pressure around the Strait of Hormuz, or additional military action. Netanyahu dismissed the claim that he came to Washington to convince Trump to resume strikes, calling it a 'caricature.' He assessed that Iran is weaker than ever but admitted the regime has not collapsed. Netanyahu also addressed Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz and suggested that Israel could free the world from this choke point by changing energy routes. He expressed concern over declining support for Israel among the American public, attributing it to the influence of social media and bot farms.
