Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he and U.S. President Donald Trump are in “full agreement” on stopping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Netanyahu made the remarks in a statement, saying that “as long as I am prime minister of Israel, Iran will not have nuclear weapons.” He added that there is shared agreement between him and Trump on the issue.
The comments come amid broader U.S.–Iran diplomacy. NDTV reports that Netanyahu speaks a day after Trump publicly highlighted what he described as an imminent deal with Tehran. Taken together, the outlets describe Netanyahu’s insistence that Iran must not obtain nuclear weapons and link his message to a recent period of renewed attention on possible negotiations between the United States and Iran.
Neither outlet provides additional details in their excerpts about the specific terms of any U.S. proposals or enforcement mechanisms referenced by Trump, but both attribute the main claim to Netanyahu and place it in close timing to Trump’s remarks about a potential deal with Iran.
