"Tehran has told the US not to allow Israel to destroy the chance of reaching an agreement over Iran's nuclear programme amid speculation that Benjamin Netanyahu intends to use a hastily arranged White House meeting with Donald Trump on Wednesday to divert negotiations. Iran's intervention came as the Israeli prime minister flew to Washington to plead with Trump not to negotiate a deal with Tehran if it excludes limiting the country's ballistic missile programme,"
"dropping its support for proxy forces in the region and curtailing human rights abuses at home. Netanyahu is deeply concerned that Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, are prepared to strike a deal confined to limiting the scope of Iran's nuclear programme, which in Israel's view would do nothing to rein in the long-term threat Tehran poses to the region."
"He is expected to provide Trump with fresh intelligence about Iran's military capabilities, including new long-range ballistic missiles. Netanyahu faces a delicate task in setting out his stall because he risks being seen as challenging two of Trump's most respected aides by mapping out a set of demands that could force the US into prolonged conflict with Iran. He also risks angering Trump by opening up divisions in the Republican party,"
Iran warned the United States not to allow Israel to destroy the chance of reaching an agreement over Iran's nuclear programme as Benjamin Netanyahu flew to Washington to urge Donald Trump against a deal that excludes limits on ballistic missiles, support for proxy forces, and human rights abuses. Netanyahu fears advisors Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff may pursue a narrowly focused nuclear deal that leaves long-term threats intact. He intends to present principles and provide fresh intelligence on Iran's military capabilities, including new long-range missiles. Netanyahu risks straining relations with Trump and deepening Republican divisions by pressing his demands.
