U.S. President Donald Trump has said that discussions with Iran must continue. He made the remarks on social media after a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. According to Arab News, Netanyahu spoke about taking action against Iran during the three-hour meeting.
Trump stated that he emphasized the need to keep negotiating with Iran to see if a deal could be reached. He told Netanyahu that achieving such a deal was a priority for his administration, adding that if it was not possible, the outcome would be observed. This was the seventh meeting between Trump and Netanyahu since Trump returned to office as president.
Netanyahu’s office said that during the talks, the Israeli leader stressed the importance of Israel’s security. The meeting followed Trump’s earlier indication of possible military action against Iran after the government’s crackdown on protesters, while Washington and Tehran resumed nuclear discussions last week.
