Political commentator Yaakov Bardugo said the upcoming Trump-Netanyahu meeting will be entirely about Iran, and that toppling the regime in Tehran is Prime Minister Netanyahu's goal, which President Trump understands. The statement was reported Sunday evening, adding to the run-up to the high-stakes summit.
Commentator Yaakov Bardugo offered a sweeping assessment of the upcoming Trump-Netanyahu meeting, suggesting it will be dominated by Iran and that the prime minister's goal is toppling the Tehran regime. The remarks, published Sunday evening, follow a day of related developments: earlier Sunday, Bardugo predicted Netanyahu would succeed at the summit, and Netanyahu himself announced he would speak with Trump about Iran from the underground cabinet bunker. Bardugo's latest statement reinforces the centrality of the Iranian nuclear issue ahead of the Washington meeting.
