Foreign media citing an Israeli source report Prime Minister Netanyahu is trying to influence the final Iran agreement by using right‑wing media figures and pro‑Israel U.S. senators to pressure President Trump. Netanyahu remains skeptical during negotiations, saying he does not expect the U.S. and Iran to reach a deal and doubts Iran will accept real limits on its nuclear programme. He has enlisted pro‑Israel commentators such as podcaster Mark Levin — who on Wednesday called the deal “nonsense” — and is courting pro‑Israel senators, though Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who had pushed for tougher action on Iran, has shifted his stance.
