Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with US President Donald Trump in the United States to discuss ongoing US-Iran negotiations. The meeting, scheduled after US-Iran talks in Oman, will be the seventh between the two leaders since Trump's return to office. Netanyahu aims to urge Trump to pressure Iran to limit its ballistic missile program and end support for regional groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. Iran, however, insists that negotiations remain focused solely on nuclear issues, deeming its missile program "non-negotiable." While Iran has expressed openness to nuclear talks, it rejects any discussion of its missile capabilities.
