Why Trump is throwing Israel under the bus over the Iran war | Iran: the Latest

Trump backs a historic US-Iran peace deal at the G7 summit — but could it trigger a major clash with Israel?

As details of a proposed US-Iran 14-point peace deal emerge, Donald Trump and world leaders at the G7 summit are hailing it as a breakthrough that could reshape the Middle East. But will the agreement actually work?

Venetia Rainey breaks down the leaked Memorandum of Understanding, including the timeline for ending the conflict, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, lifting sanctions on Iran, and the unresolved question of what happens to Tehran’s stockpile of enriched uranium.

One country is far less enthusiastic: Israel. How will Benjamin Netanyahu respond if Washington moves ahead with the deal? From Tel Aviv, Global Health Security Editor Paul Nuki delivers his assessment of the political realities behind Trump’s strategy — and why the US president may be positioning Israel to absorb the backlash from a deeply controversial war.
