๐ธ TRUMP AND NETANYAHU COORDINATE ON IRAN: President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed during their White House meeting that Iran must not obtain a nuclear weapon, an Israeli source familiar with the talks told Iran International. The source described the meeting as a โmajor moment of coordination.โ
The source dismissed as โentirely falseโ a report that Netanyahu planned to present Trump with documents or intelligence concerning renewed nuclear activity at Iranโs underground Pickaxe Mountain site. No such material was presented.
โThe meeting was very good and useful,โ the source said. โIt was successful because the two sides had an understanding.โ
According to the source, Trump did not pressure Israel on any issue. Washington and Jerusalem agree on their objective regarding Iran, although they may differ over how to achieve it.
The source said Trump was already aware that Netanyahuโs broader policy was to seek โthe freedom of the Iranian people from this regime,โ so the issue did not require separate discussion.
โWhat was discussed was the nuclear issue.”
An Israeli official in Washington said Trump did not demand an Israeli withdrawal from any front. Channel 12 separately cited an Israeli source confirming that no such demand was made.
Netanyahu said: โIt was one of the best conversations I’ve had with the President of the United States.โ
