Netanyahu: Trump agrees any Iran deal must eliminate nuclear threat

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he and U.S. President Donald Trump share a consensus that any final agreement concerning Iran's nuclear program must completely neutralize the threat posed by Tehran. Netanyahu conveyed this following a discussion with Trump regarding a memorandum of understanding to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and upcoming negotiations.

President Trump and I agreed that any final deal with Iran must eliminate the nuclear danger. This means dismantling Iran's uranium enrichment facilities and removing the enriched nuclear material from its territory.

In a Telegram post, Netanyahu elaborated that achieving this objective necessitates the dismantling of Iran's uranium enrichment facilities and the removal of already enriched nuclear material from Iranian soil. He expressed deep appreciation for Trump's steadfast commitment to Israel's security, referencing joint operations against Iranian threats.

Furthermore, Netanyahu stated that Trump reaffirmed Israel's inherent right to defend itself against all threats, explicitly mentioning those emanating from Lebanon. The Israeli Prime Minister highlighted the strong and unprecedented cooperation between the United States and Israel, noting its proven effectiveness on the battlefield.

President Trump also confirmed Israel's right to defend itself against threats on every front, including Lebanon.

Netanyahu reiterated his and Trump's unchanged policy: "Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons." This stance underscores a unified front between the two leaders against Iran's nuclear ambitions, emphasizing a firm resolve to prevent the country from acquiring nuclear capabilities.

Our policy, like President Trump's policy, remains unchanged: Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons.
