I saw Trump's recent statements regarding Netanyahu's interview on 60 Minutes of CBS, and frankly, the matter is quite interesting. Trump essentially says that the program isn't bad, but he disagrees on a specific point that Netanyahu raised.



Basically, Netanyahu said that no one could fully predict whether Iran would block the Strait of Hormuz. Trump sees it differently. According to him, it was entirely predictable. He explained that he knew very well Iran would close the strait because it's practically the only weapon they have available. Of course, he added that at the moment, it's not even that effective, but it remains their only tool.

Here's where the interesting point of the discussion between Trump and Netanyahu comes in. Trump argues that the United States had the capacity to keep the strait open through Operation Freedom Plan, but this didn't happen due to prior commitments to certain countries and the related demands that arose from them.

And it doesn't end there. Trump clearly stated that if necessary, the United States could restart similar operations or even do something even more decisive. It's a statement that reflects his more assertive view on geopolitics and America's position in the Middle East. In short, Trump and Netanyahu have slightly different visions on how to predict and manage these critical scenarios.
