US President Trump’s post on social media suggesting an imminent agreement with Tehran surprised Israeli PM Netanyahu — who was in the midst of a security discussion about Iran, according to an Israeli source
- Israel was not aware of any impending agreement with Iran, the source told CNN, or of any approval to an agreement, appearing to contradict Trump’s claim on Truth Social.
- After two consecutive nights of US strikes on Iran and the threat of more ahead by Trump, Netanyahu had convened a limited security discussion on Thursday night with top security officials and some of his ministers. Trump posted about the potential agreement while he was participating in that discussion.
- Mediators involved in US-Iran negotiations are signaling that Qatari negotiators’ visit to Tehran yesterday and talks until early morning today helped push it forward despite the tit-for-tat situation, the source said, referring to the latest volleys of strikes.
- “Mediators have hit some breakthroughs,” they said.
