Jerusalem, Israel – Web Desk: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that he held a telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump during which they discussed the possibility of a future agreement with Iran.
In a statement, Netanyahu said President Trump suggested that under current circumstances, a deal could be possible that would both achieve military objectives and protect key strategic interests.
The Israeli leader also claimed in a video message that recent military successes by Israeli and US forces have increased pressure on Iran to consider reaching an agreement, adding that diplomatic success would ultimately benefit Israel.
Trump, according to Netanyahu, expressed optimism that ongoing discussions with Iran have been positive and that consensus has been reached on several points.
However, Iran’s Foreign Ministry rejected claims of progress in negotiations, accusing the US president of using the idea of talks to influence oil prices and create a temporary pause in hostilities.
The conflicting statements highlight ongoing uncertainty surrounding diplomatic efforts amid heightened tensions between Iran, Israel, and the United States.
