Trump Claims He Doesn’t Need Netanyahu’s Intelligence on Iran Talks

According to Saednews report by an Iranian political news outlet, U.S. President Donald Trump told Fox News that he does not need Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to brief him about the "Koh-e Kolang" site, claiming Netanyahu raises the issue because he wants the United States to remain engaged in confronting Iran.

Key statements attributed to Trump include:

  • Senator Lindsey Graham previously held a hardline position on Iran, but in recent weeks has reportedly begun to believe that reaching an agreement would be a better option.

  • Trump said he does not need Netanyahu to explain anything about the Koh-e Kolang site, adding that Netanyahu makes such statements because he wants the U.S. to stay involved with Iran.

  • He claimed that the United States knows exactly what is happening at the site and described it as "not a major problem." He added that if no agreement is reached with Iran, "we will destroy it."

  • Trump reiterated that he does not need Netanyahu to tell him about the situation.

  • He said he heard Netanyahu publicly discuss the matter and questioned why the Israeli leader announced it to the world instead of speaking to him privately.

  • Trump concluded by saying that talks with Iran have been positive and that it would be preferable to reach an agreement with Tehran.
