Ending war with Iran to be ‘mutual’ decision with Netanyahu: Trump

US President Donald Trump said the decision on when to end the war with Iran will be a “mutual” one taken together with Benjamin Netanyahu.

Speaking in a phone interview, Trump said he and the Israeli prime minister had “been talking,” adding that he would “make a decision at the right time”.

When asked whether Israel could continue the war against Iran if the United States decided to stop its strikes, Trump dismissed the scenario, saying: “I don’t think its going to be necessary”.

Trump also declined to comment on reports that Mojtaba Khamenei had been named the country’s new supreme leader, saying: “We’ll see what happens”, according to a report by The Times of Israel.

He has previously expressed opposition to Mojtaba’s leadership, saying: “Khamenei’s son is unacceptable to me”.
