Trump: Israel Unlikely to Resume Iran Strikes as US Eyes 'Total Victory' Within Weeks
The US president is trying to project control in front of the cameras and says he believes there will be no need for another campaign. "Everything is working out very well," he said. At another event, he claimed: "You're really gonna win this over the next two weeks when we declare total victory." Vice President Vance on an agreement with Iran: "Israel may like it, and it may not."
After the recent round of fighting, which faded within less than 24 hours, US President Donald Trump believes Israel will not return to fighting Iran. Meanwhile, Trump said Tuesday that the future of the agreement with Iran could become clear within days.
In a phone call with Sky News correspondent James Matthews, Trump was asked whether he would join Netanyahu if Israel resumed attacks on Iran.
The US president replied: "It's all working out very well. Iran is doing what they have to do. I don't think that's going to happen, okay?" Matthews then asked Trump what he would do if Netanyahu defied his wishes, but according to the reporter, the president "hung up" without answering the question.
At an online rally in support of Lindsey Graham, President Trump said, "You're really gonna win this over the next two weeks when we declare total victory."
US Vice President JD Vance addressed the agreement with Iran as well on Fox News. Vance said, "The Israelis and the United States have a lot of shared interests, but we also have some situations where our interests diverge. Israel may like that. They may not like that. But fundamentally, we think this is in the best interest of the United States of America."

The conversation that changed the administration's mind
After the launches from Tehran toward Israel, Trump said, among other things, that he would call Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and tell him not to respond. He also made clear that Netanyahu would listen to him and would accept an agreement if one were signed with Iran.
In the end, however, Israel did carry out an attack on Monday morning. The shift in the US position came after a conversation between the two leaders. Sources told Israel Hayom that Israel launched the strike following coordination and US approval, including Trump's personal consent. The parameters drawn up called for a powerful attack that would nevertheless be limited to several hours, and the targets were also agreed upon. Netanyahu convinced Trump that refraining from an attack would give Iran an advantage and could even lead it to harden its positions in negotiations with the US.
