US President Donald Trump has said the decision on when to end the war with Iran will be made jointly with Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel.

The US president said Washington and Jerusalem were working closely together during the conflict. Iran would have destroyed Israel if not for coordinated actions between him and Netanyahu, The Caspian Post reports via Israeli media.

"Iran was going to destroy Israel and everything around it… We worked together. We destroyed a country that wanted to destroy Israel," Trump said.

When asked whether he alone would decide when the war ends or if Netanyahu would also have a say, Trump described the process as “mutual to some extent.”

"We’ve discussed it. I will make the decision at the right moment, but everything will be taken into consideration," he said, indicating that while the Israeli leader will have input, the final decision will ultimately rest with the U.S. president.

Asked whether Israel could continue the war against Iran even if the US decides to halt strikes, Trump dismissed the possibility, saying: “I don’t think that will be necessary.”
