Israeli officials have voiced scepticism over the Trump administration’s latest diplomatic efforts with Iran, expressing concern that Washington is pushing for an agreement “at any cost,” according to a report by Israeli broadcaster Channel 12.

Citing a senior Israeli official, the broadcaster said there is growing unease in Tel Aviv over US President Donald Trump’s approach to negotiations with Tehran.

“The distance between peace and war with Trump is the distance between the letters T, R and U on the keyboard,” the official was quoted as saying, suggesting that the US president’s policy could change abruptly.

According to the report, the United States has not been directly updating Israel on its negotiations with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, forcing Israeli officials to rely largely on indirect channels for information.

Earlier on Tuesday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said negotiations with Iran over safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz were still ongoing but expressed optimism that the two sides would reach an agreement “very shortly.”
