Iran Denies Agreeing to Trump’s Peace Deal; Netanyahu Not Informed, Says Israel Will Never Permit Iran to Get Nukes

President Trump announced an end to the Iran War last night and said a peace deal will be signed in Europe, but Iran quickly denied that its leaders had agreed to any terms.

Trump announced the putative peace pact, called a memorandum of understanding, after he canceled a strike on Iran he had threatened early in the day.

Iran’s denying Trump’s claim aside, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who dragged Trump into the war with a presentation in the Situation Room that U.S. intelligence officials called “farcical” and “bulls**t,” knew nothing about the deal.

Trump recently told the Financial Times that Netanyahu will do what he’s told because he has “no choice.”

The Deal

On Truth Social, Trump announced that he canceled the strike on Iran because a peace deal had been reached.

“Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others,” he wrote.

Axios then divulged the details.

Noting that the memorandum of understanding (MOU) will extend the so-called ceasefire for 60 days, a diplomat told Axios that “the U.S. and Iran have agreed on the text of a deal” but that it had not been signed.

“As of Thursday evening, the deal had been approved on the Iranian side at high levels but likely not by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, two sources with knowledge said,” the website:

Trump said he expected a signing ceremony over the weekend. A spokesperson for Iran’s foreign ministry said Tehran had “not yet reached a final decision.”…

Under the MOU, Iran would make certain commitments on its nuclear program — first and foremost to never acquire a nuclear weapon and to resolve the standoff around its enriched uranium.

A senior U.S. official said Trump agreed that one of the options for resolving the issue could be down-blending Iran’s highly enriched uranium inside the country under the supervision of UN inspectors.…

The diplomat claimed the MOU “goes into details on all the nuclear issues” and “satisfies all U.S. requirements.”…

The MOU calls for the strait to be reopened immediately without tolls, with a return to pre-war shipping volumes within 30 days. In return, the U.S. blockade would also be lifted.

Axios also reported that four U.S. Air Force C-17s were headed to Europe to prepare for a signing ceremony, at which Vice President J.D. Vance will represent the United States. 

This morning, Axios reported that Tehran had decided to sign the pact. 

“However, three sources briefed on the talks told Axios that key gaps were narrowed during talks between Iranian officials and Qatari mediators on Wednesday,” the website explained:

Iran’s Fars news agency denied any deal had been agreed, but said there was a “possibility” Tehran would consider signing off.

Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday afternoon that his understanding was that the Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei had given his approval.

Bibi Didn’t Know

About three hours after Trump announced the pact on Truth Social, Netanyahu’s official prime minister’s account on X admitted that Israel hadn’t signed off on the deal.

“Even though Israel is not a party to the memorandum of understanding, the Prime Minister expressed his appreciation for President Trump’s commitment that the final agreement at the conclusion of negotiations will include the removal of enriched material, the dismantling of enrichment infrastructure, limits on missile production, and the cessation of Iran’s support for its terrorist proxies in the region,” it said.

“Netanyahu was surprised by President Donald Trump’s social media post about an imminent deal, according to a source familiar with the matter.” ABC News reported:

Israel was not looped into the approval process, according to the source.

One possible reason: Trump wants out of the war he knows he cannot “win,” and is fed up with Netanyahu.

On June 1, Netanyahu and Trump spoke on the phone. The conversation was not pleasant. Trump called Netanyahu “f***ing crazy” and said “everyone hates Israel” because of its attacks in Lebanon.

After that spanking, Trump again spoke with Netanyahu on June 7 after Iran retaliated against Israel for yet another attack in Beirut. Trump told Netanyahu not to retaliate against Iran. “The Iranian strikes didn’t hurt anybody,” Trump told Axios. “Hopefully Israel is not going to retaliate. If Bibi strikes them back, it’s just gonna keep going like the last 47 years — or the last 3,000 years.”

Trump also told Axios that the United States and Iran were close to a peace deal.

“I Call the Shots”

Trump then told the Financial Times that he — not Netanyahu — is in charge.

“He won’t have any choice” but to accept a peace deal, Trump said:

I call the shots. I call all the shots. He [Netanyahu] doesn’t call the shots.

Netanyahu apparently doesn’t think so. He told his security cabinet that Israel might just attack Iran without Trump’s approval, The Jerusalem Post reported. “We may have to strike without American backing, despite all the costs involved,” Netanyahu said. “We do not want to reach that point, but we know we are capable of it.”

Nor does it appear that Netanyahu is all that happy about the impending deal.

“As long as I am Prime Minister of Israel — Iran will not have nuclear weapons,” he warned on X today:

There is full agreement between me and President Trump on this issue.

For over 30 years, I have been at the forefront of the international campaign against Iran’s nuclear program.

Had it not been for this campaign, Iran would long ago have had atomic bombs to destroy Israel.

Iran is working to destroy the Jewish state, and I dedicate my life to preventing them from doing so.

As long as I am Prime Minister of Israel, this will not happen.
