US President Trump’s post on social media suggesting an imminent agreement with Tehran surprised Israeli PM Netanyahu — who was in the midst of a security discussion about Iran, according to an Israeli source

Israel was not aware of any impending agreement with Iran, the source told CNN, or of any approval to an agreement, appearing to contradict Trump’s claim on Truth Social. After two consecutive nights of US strikes on Iran and the threat of more ahead by Trump, Netanyahu had convened a limited security discussion on Thursday night with top security officials and some of his ministers. Trump posted about the potential agreement while he was participating in that discussion. Mediators involved in US-Iran negotiations are signaling that Qatari negotiators’ visit to Tehran yesterday and talks until early morning today helped push it forward despite the tit-for-tat situation, the source said, referring to the latest volleys of strikes. “Mediators have hit some breakthroughs,” they said.
