Trump Says No Final Agreement Reached With Netanyahu as Iran Talks Continue
President Donald Trump said no definitive outcomes emerged from his White House meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but negotiations with Iran will continue amid regional tensions.
President Donald Trump said no final agreements were reached during his latest White House meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, though he emphasized that U.S. negotiations with Iran will continue.
Trump described the meeting as positive and highlighted ongoing cooperation between the United States and Israel. He said he pressed for continued diplomatic engagement with Tehran as tensions remain high across the Middle East.
The visit marked the sixth time Trump has hosted Netanyahu in Washington during his second term. Their meeting came shortly after indirect U.S.-Iran talks in Oman aimed at preventing a wider regional conflict.
Trump indicated he prefers a negotiated outcome but warned that military action remains possible if diplomacy fails. He referenced previous U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities following the collapse of earlier negotiations, signaling that force remains an option.
Netanyahu’s office provided limited details about the discussions, saying the leaders addressed Israel’s security concerns, Iran negotiations, Gaza developments and broader regional dynamics. The two governments reaffirmed plans for continued coordination.
The talks occur amid competing regional pressures. Several Middle Eastern governments have called for deescalation, while Israeli leadership has maintained a more confrontational stance toward Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities.
U.S. officials have indicated that negotiations with Iran center on three core demands: limits on nuclear enrichment, restrictions on ballistic missile development and reductions in support for regional proxy groups.
Iran has signaled willingness to negotiate on its nuclear program but continues to reject limits on its missile capabilities. Iranian leaders have warned that a U.S. military strike could trigger a broader regional conflict.
The meeting underscores the fragile balance between diplomacy and military pressure as Washington seeks a new agreement with Tehran after withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear deal during Trump’s first presidency.
