The leaders weighed diplomacy, economic pressure and military action as Israel said Tehran has restored parts of its nuclear infrastructure, officials said.

- The Israeli official acknowledged that Trump is the "senior partner" while the United States weighs three options: a nuclear deal, maintaining economic pressure, or renewed military strikes against Iran.
