“I have just finished meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, of Israel, and various of his Representatives,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.<\/p>\n

“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 said. “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.”<\/p>\n

He added that the two leaders discussed the progress being made in Gaza and the region in general.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu arrived at the White House in a vehicle via the South Lawn on Wednesday morning and left without a press conference or a statement issued.<\/p>\n

The meeting, their seventh since the start of Trump’s second term, reportedly lasted roughly three hours.<\/p>\n

Before the meeting, Netanyahu met with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and formally signed up as a member of the “Board of Peace.” The initiative is controversial in Israel’s parliament, Fox News reported.<\/p>\n

Ahead of his trip to Washington, Netanyahu told reporters: “I will present to the president our concept regarding the principles of the negotiations (on Iran) — the essential principles that are important not only to Israel but to anyone who wants peace and security in the Middle East.”<\/p>\n

Netanyahu’s office has said that the prime minister wants the talks to include limits on Iran’s ballistic missile program and cut Iran’s ties with militant groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.<\/p>\n

Trump said Tuesday in an interview with Fox Business Network that “it’s got to be a good deal. No nuclear weapons, no missiles.”<\/p>\n

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said at celebrations in Tehran for the 47th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution on Wednesday that a “wall of distrust” created by the West is hindering nuclear talks with the United States, vowing that Iran will never surrender to excessive demands and aggression.<\/p>\n

Also on Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi told Russia Today that he believes Iran and the United States can strike a nuclear deal better than the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action signed in July 2015, while reiterating that Iran will not negotiate on its missile program or regional alliances. <\/p>\n

Washington and Tehran held their indirect talks on Friday in the Omani capital of Muscat amid simmering tensions between the two sides and a U.S. military buildup near Iran.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Trump said he is considering sending a second aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East for possible military actions against Iran if negotiations fail.<\/p>\n
