Ahead of a meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump, Iran has urged the US not to let Netanyahu derail potential nuclear agreement negotiations. Netanyahu is traveling to Washington to persuade Trump to broaden any deal with Iran beyond just its nuclear program, to include its ballistic missile program, support for regional proxies, and human rights record. Iran fears Netanyahu will use the meeting to pressure Trump into abandoning negotiations, particularly due to the involvement of Trump's aides Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, who are reportedly open to a narrower nuclear agreement. Netanyahu plans to present Trump with new intelligence on Iran's military capabilities. The meeting occurs amidst existing tensions between Netanyahu and Trump over stalled peace plans and potential annexation of the West Bank.
