Trump and Netanyahu Strengthen Pressure Campaign on Iran Amid Ongoing Talks
In a series of high-stakes discussions, President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu have agreed to intensify their economic pressure on Iran, particularly targeting its oil sales to China. As U.S.-Iran negotiations resume, Netanyahu has expressed skepticism about the efficacy of these talks, signaling a potential desire for military action should diplomatic efforts falter. The leaders are reportedly preparing for a comprehensive strategy, with Netanyahu seeking assurances that the U.S. will demand more from Iran. Despite the growing tensions, Trump remains hopeful for a diplomatic resolution and has emphasized the importance of continuing dialogue with Iran. The meeting concluded without a definitive agreement, but both leaders are expected to pursue further discussions, suggesting a complex geopolitical chess match lies ahead.
