US President Donald Trump stated he insisted talks with Iran continue during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, warning he may take action against Tehran if a nuclear deal is not reached. The leaders met at the White House as tensions rise across the Middle East and negotiations intensify over curbing Iran's nuclear weapons programme. Netanyahu was expected to urge Trump to pursue a deal that would halt Iran's uranium enrichment, cut its ballistic missile program, and end support for proxy groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. Iran has indicated a willingness to limit its nuclear programme for sanctions relief but has rejected other demands. Ahead of the meeting, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned that Iran would not yield to excessive demands. Netanyahu's visit marks his sixth trip to the US since Trump took office, reflecting their close relationship. The leaders spoke for nearly three hours in a low-key meeting without a press conference. Trump described the meeting as 'very good' but noted that no definitive agreement was reached, emphasizing the preference for a deal while remaining open about potential outcomes if negotiations fail. The discussion also touched on Israel's security needs during the negotiations, as both leaders are keen on limiting Iran's influence in the region. Trump's approach to military action remains cautious as the US seeks a diplomatic solution while increasing its military presence in the Middle East.
