Israel says Netanyahu will meet with Trump on Wednesday about Iran talks

Netanyahu aims to influence U.S. strategy on Iran's ballistic missiles and proxy support amid ongoing talks and potential military options, with time running short, Israeli officials say.

  • On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington following indirect U.S.-Iran talks in Muscat on Friday, Netanyahu's office said.
  • Israel is pressing to shape U.S. red lines, arguing for strict demands on Iran including halting enrichment, removing enriched uranium, and limiting missiles, as it opposes too conciliatory negotiations, Netanyahu's office said.
  • U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner spent eight hours in Oman, met Iran's Abbas Araghchi, while USS Abraham Lincoln operated in the Arabian Sea with Adm. Brad Cooper present.
  • The U.S. President has expanded economic penalties through an executive order, with decisions on military action resting with Trump following envoys' advice.
  • Given vast gaps, observers see low odds of agreement even as negotiators plan to meet again early next week, while Gulf Arab nations fear an attack could trigger regional war and coordinate interception plans.
