Trump's Channel 12 Interview Reframes the US–Israel–Iran Triangle

Trump told Israel's Channel 12 that 'the Israelis have no role' in US strikes on Iran, a unilateral framing that Jerusalem quietly contested and Tehran publicly rejected, redrawing the chain of command in the middle of an active air campaign.

Desk note: Monexus treats the Channel 12 interview as the primary factual anchor, with Reuters and Channel 13/N12 reporting providing the Israeli-government counter-frame and Iranian state media used, with explicit caveat, for the Tehran read. We have not reproduced Trump's quoted language in full where the underlying URLs are aggregator posts; readers seeking the verbatim transcript should go to the original Channel 12 broadcast and the Reuters video statement.
