'I call the shots:' Trump says Netanyahu will have 'no choice' but to accept whatever deal US makes with Iran
Source: i24 News Israel
US President Trump said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would have "no choice" but to accept any nuclear agreement negotiated between Washington and Tehran.
"He won't have any choice," Trump told the Financial Times in a telephone interview. "I call the shots. I call all the shots. He doesn't call the shots."
In the same interview, Trump suggested that military options remain on the table if diplomatic efforts with Tehran collapse. Asked what he would do if negotiations failed "on their merits," the US president said he would consider a US commando operation. Yet, Trump also emphasized that the strikes had not diminished his determination to pursue a negotiated agreement with Tehran.
Trump's remarks came shortly after Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles toward Israel in what has been described as the most serious violation of the ceasefire reached in early April, sharply escalating tensions across the region.

(9,589 posts)Trump claimed I have all the cards with Iran.
Turns out he didnt.
Bibi has cards but the sadistic narcissist is too stupid to understand it.
If he had a competent staff they would have told him.
If he was a competent Pres. he would have listened to him.
Neither of those exist.

(6,178 posts)Iran has to agree to any "Deal" and they aren't even negotiating as they seem to be calling our bluff and waiting until the large oil shortage actually gets priced into the markets. That hasn't happened so far, the world is receiving about 10-15% less oil per day than before this misadventure. I will say I think the world's total oil use has now peaked and will begin it's slow decline. The western capital markets require endless growth and this will be a big mess as it unravels.

(5,377 posts)whether his orders will be is another question altogether,
but Israeli politicians should never be "calling the shots"
on American policies--- and he got THAT right---
It is so rare that he gets anything 'right', but he did that time

(115,190 posts)see Bibi slapped down--even if it is merely performative.
When did Bibi Netanyahu--the immensely corrupt Israeli PM--and as such our primary beneficiary--get to call all the shots? Shows how weak the entire world, but Netanyahu especially--believe Trump to be.
This is the most he's ever been disrespected by a US President.

He sent the right message, but for the wrong reasons...

(562 posts)In March 2010 when Vice President Joe Biden visited Israel the Israeli Interior Ministry announced the approval of 1,600 new housing units for the ultra-Orthodox settlement of Ramat Shlomo in East Jerusalem. Unfortunately Israel has been pulling off this crap for a long time. Until we get rid of the Citizens United ruling and stop the practice of bundling large donations and allowing unnamed shadow organizations from buying elections it will continue.

(8,350 posts)Sorry for two things:
Not wanting to call you President.
and this:
You never called the shots, ever.
You've been played all your life, by people smarter than you, by people who saw personal gain in following you, placating you.
Bibi is just one of them.
One of many.

(10,034 posts)Netanyahu says Trump is the best POTUS ever.
Trump is the POTUS foolish enough to attack Iran and provide Israel cover for other adventures.
Netanyahu and the Kushner family are personal friends and now business associates.
Trump's "I call the shots" is for public consumption. Netanyahu and others have Trump by the ball sack.
Iran's best strategy is to bind time and exhaust the support and resources controlled by Trump and Netanyahu.

We have the cards and have to stop being bluffed by our friends.

(27,170 posts)Now, to say that the owner is Putin, Bibi, Musk or Price Bonesaw is confusing, because he dances to one of their tunes at a time, which leads me to suspect that there's a SPECTRE kind of auction going on for the goods. The latest turn of affairs says that Putin outbid Bibi this turn in the game.
Don't forget, we ARE living in the Twilight Zone right now, with episodes of James Bond 007, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and National Lampoon interspersed.
Here's undisputable proof.
Lampoon was on the wristwatch craze early.


Mister Bean has been both Putin's bodyguard,

Note the waiter from "Victor, Victoria" backing him up.
And James Bond's friend.
