Netanyahu was exposed to three sets of tactics with Trump

On 30 July, local time, a senior Israeli official revealed that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu had a meeting with United States President Trump at the White House for approximately 90 minutes on 28 July, and that the Iranian issue was the focus of the talks, with three options discussed. Netanyahu expressed doubts about the possibility of an agreement between Mej and Trump and discussed further military and non-military measures to increase economic pressure on Iran. According to the official, the parties focused on three options being considered by Trump: to continue to promote an agreement with Iran; to maintain the maritime blockade against Iran and strengthen economic pressure; and to resume and expand military strikes. Trump expressed concern about the war’s impact on the energy market and the global economy, while Netanyahu argued that Iran was using the Strait of Hormuz, the only important leverage left, to force the United States to compromise.
