US EditionNetanyahu Wants Trump to Demand More From Iran. The Leaders Will Meet This Week
Netanyahu pressed Trump to demand Iran end uranium enrichment, limit ballistic missiles, and cut support for militant groups amid fears of a narrow nuclear deal, Israeli officials said.
- On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to meet President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., after U.S.-Iran talks last week, pressing U.S. policy on Iran through Wednesday, Netanyahu's office said.
- Israel's long-standing demands target enrichment, missiles and militia ties, while Netanyahu seeks to block a narrow deal and bolster standing ahead of elections later this year.
- Evidence shows last year's U.S.-Israel strikes hit Iranian sites, satellite imagery indicates activity at two, and negotiations resumed last week amid an American military buildup.
- Some Netanyahu's cabinet members warn of unilateral action if a deal falls short, with Eli Cohen stating Israel 'reserves the option to act' as decisions are made and force buildup continues.
- Originally set for Feb. 19, Netanyahu moved up his Washington visit this week; he agreed to join the Board of Peace but remains wary due to Turkey and Qatar, while Iran's protests and crackdown continue.
