Netanyahu Moves Up Trump Visit to Discuss Iran, Skipping Gaza Summit

Netanyahu advanced his Washington trip to press Trump for restrictions on Iran's ballistic missiles and regional militia support amid renewed U.S.-Iran talks, officials said.

  • 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.
