WASHINGTON, March 8 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that when to end the war with Iran will be a "mutual" decision made with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Speaking by phone with The Times of Israel, Trump said Netanyahu will have input on resolving the conflict.

"I think it’s mutual ... a little bit. We’ve been talking. I’ll make a decision at the right time, but everything’s going to be taken into account," said Trump.
