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.
