Trump claimed the U.S. reached a landmark deal with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with signing expected within hours. But Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut threatened the agreement, with Trump warning Netanyahu's 'judgment' was off.
Trump announced that the U.S. reached a landmark deal with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with signing expected within hours. Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut happened simultaneously, threatening the agreement before it was even signed. Trump publicly warned Netanyahu that his 'judgment' was off, suggesting he views the strikes as undermining his deal.
This is a fragile moment. Trump has staked his credibility on reaching an Iran deal and apparently negotiated terms that require the strait to reopen. But Israel's military operations in Beirut suggest Israel either wasn't fully informed about the deal or doesn't consider it binding on their own security decisions. An unsigned deal can evaporate fast if the parties aren't aligned.
The public warning to Netanyahu is a signal that Trump feels blindsided or that Israel is acting against his stated interests. If the deal collapses in the next 48 hours, both Trump and Israel will blame each other, and the underlying issues—sanctions, nuclear enrichment, regional militias—remain unsolved.
