Story summary

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking at an event in Jerusalem on August 25, 2026, said that a diplomatic deal with Iran is not possible due to the country's leadership. He referred to them as "savages" and stated that he "doubt[s]... that an agreement can be reached." This comes after US President Donald Trump announced a new campaign of economic pressure on Iran, which Netanyahu hailed as "economic D-Day." The comments are significant because they suggest that Israel is maintaining its hardline stance against diplomacy with Iran.
