"The results of the hastily arranged meeting were announced by Trump in an online post. There was nothing definitive reached other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a Deal can be consummated, Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. If it can, I let the Prime Minister know that will be a preference. If it cannot, we will just have to see what the outcome will be."
"The US has massed forces in the Middle East threatening a major strike against Iran's nuclear programme, as well as its leadership and military, as the White House has sought new concessions over the country's nuclear program. Trump this week said he was considering sending another aircraft carrier to the region to join the USS Abraham Lincoln. But Israel has called for Iran to also limit its ballistic missile program and cut support for regional allies including Hamas in Gaza and Lebanon's Hezbollah."
Trump met with Benjamin Netanyahu for three hours and announced no public joint statements. Trump posted that he insisted negotiations with Iran continue to see whether a deal can be consummated and said a deal would be preferred but left military options open if talks fail. The US has massed forces in the Middle East and is threatening major strikes on Iran's nuclear programme, leadership and military, and Trump considered sending another aircraft carrier. Israel pressed for limits on Iran's ballistic missiles and an end to support for Hamas and Hezbollah. Recent US-Iran envoy talks in Oman addressed only the nuclear program; Iran said missiles and regional support were not under discussion.
