Donald Trump’s presidency marked an intense alignment with Israeli leadership, supporting key policies such as recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital, acknowledging sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and exiting the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement. During his tenure, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu persuaded Trump to coordinate military actions against Iranian targets, sidelining concerns raised by American military officials who questioned the premise of a brief and decisive outcome. However, the conflict reinforced Iran’s strategic leverage, notably over maritime navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, ultimately exposing divergences between American and Israeli objectives as Washington moved toward an agreement to conclude hostilities across regional fronts.
