US President Donald Trump called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "complex person" and strongly criticized him for the attacks that almost derailed the final agreement between the US and Iran. Trump made these statements in an interview with The New York Times.

"He is a very complex person, and, frankly, he should be very grateful to us [i.e. the US] for doing this," the US president said during the interview.

Trump added that if Iran had nuclear weapons, Israel would not have existed for two hours.
