Trump presses Iran on nuclear negotiations after White House meeting with Netanyahu
Newsy
After meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House, President Trump pressed Iran to be "more reasonable and responsible" regarding negotiations about its nuclear program.
President Donald Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Wednesday, marking the fifth time the two have met since Trump's return to office.
The leaders were expected to discuss a range of pressing issues, including rising tensions with Iran and efforts to find a long-term resolution to Israel's conflict in Gaza. President Trump described it as "a very good meeting" and said they discussed "tremendous progress being made in Gaza," but noted diplomatic relations with Iran remain uncertain.

"There was nothing definitive reached other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a Deal can be consummated," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. "If it can, I let the Prime Minister know that will be a preference. If it cannot, we will just have to see what the outcome will be. Last time Iran decided that they were better off not making a Deal, and they were hit with Midnight Hammer — That did not work well for them. Hopefully this time they will be more reasonable and responsible."
