""There was nothing definitive reached other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a deal can be consummated. If it can, I let the Prime Minister know that will be a preference,""
""What Netanyahu is seeking to do with this visit is to inject poison pills into the negotiations in order to ensure that they fail, and thereby set the stage for a new armed conflict with Iran,""
President Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House for more than two-and-a-half hours to discuss Iran's nuclear program. U.S. and Iranian officials had recently held talks in Oman about that program. Trump indicated a preference for a negotiated deal if possible while simultaneously threatening military action after Iran's government crushed anti-government protests that killed thousands. The Pentagon reportedly prepared to move a second aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East, raising pressure on Iran's leadership. Netanyahu sought to inject poison pills into the negotiations to ensure they fail, potentially setting the stage for new armed conflict.
