Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has privately acknowledged that Israel currently has limited ability to shape US President Donald Trump’s decisions on Iran, according to a Reuters report that points to growing strains beneath one of the world’s closest strategic alliances.

The incident was the latest threat against President Donald Trump's life, coming one month after the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner.

The lack of a decisive victory in the Iran war has led to Trump losing confidence in the Israeli prime minister, analysts say.
