EURONEWS: Why Trump Lost in Iran: Netanyahu’s Role Donald Trump’s failure to achieve his desired ultimate outcome in his Iran policy and the resulting easing of military tensions, described as a « loss, » is explained by both Iran’s tactical retreats and the limitations of the strategic partnership with Benjamin Netanyahu. Reasons for Trump’s Hesitation in Iran The main reasons why Trump is considered to have « lost » or retreated in his goal of achieving direct regime change or complete surrender are as follows: Stopping Executions and Diplomatic Maneuver: Trump announced in January 2026 that he was abandoning the threat of military intervention after the Iranian regime canceled more than 800 planned executions. This was seen as a diplomatic way out that prevented Trump’s « maximum pressure » policy from turning into a military invasion. Limits of the Military Operation: The 12-Day War, which took place in June 2025 and targeted nuclear facilities, instead of completely ending Iran’s nuclear program, brought tensions in the region to an unsustainable point. Domestic and International Public Opinion Pressure: Trump and Netanyahu’s aggressive stance, cutting short diplomacy, was criticized as « illegal aggression » under international law, and it was argued that both leaders were trying to overcome political difficulties in their own countries through this conflict. Euronews Euronews +3 Netanyahu’s Role Binyamin Netanyahu has been both the architect and the biggest promoter of Trump’s Iran strategy: Partnership in Attack Decisions: Trump confirmed Israel’s decisive role in this process by stating that he would make the final decision on when and how to end the attacks on Iran by taking Netanyahu’s views into account. Preemptive Strike Strategy: Netanyahu is the main figure who pushed Trump to launch « preemptive » strikes by defining Iran’s nuclear capabilities as an existential threat. Political Cooperation: This hardening stance against Iran, at a time when both leaders were dealing with judicial processes and domestic political pressures, was seen as an effort to « distraction and consolidate. »

+2 Although Netanyahu’s strategic guidance brought Trump to the brink of a direct hot conflict with Iran, Iran’s strategic concessions following the election of Mojtaba Khamenei and its halting of executions weakened Trump’s justification for launching an all-out war. Trump’s loss in the Iran war is due to Netanyahu and Israeli military officials. Israel’s biggest mistake was thinking that its air defense systems were insurmountable, and the loss of Israeli lives in the attacks. Trump, as a result of Netanyahu’s deception, dragged America into an economic crisis. Euronews Euronews +1
