Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently stated that he does not believe in the possibility of a diplomatic agreement to end the war with Iran. During an event on Tuesday night (25th), Netanyahu referred to Iranian leaders as 'savages'.

Netanyahu reported that he expressed this opinion to U.S. President Donald Trump in a recent meeting. The Prime Minister highlighted his pessimistic view regarding the prospects for a mediated solution.

In addition, Netanyahu assured that Israel will retaliate more forcefully in response to Iran's actions. He emphasized the need for a firm stance against what he considers aggressive behavior from Tehran.

These statements come amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, which have manifested on several occasions over the past months. The emphasis on retaliation suggests a possible escalation in the tone of hostilities.

Netanyahu's comments have been widely discussed by various media outlets, reflecting the ongoing uncertainty and tension in the relations between the two nations.
