Israel says Netanyahu to meet with Trump on Wednesday about Iran talks

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on Wednesday about American talks with Iran, Netanyahu’s office said late Saturday.

“The prime minister believes that all negotiations must include limiting the ballistic missiles, and ending support for the Iranian axis,” Netanyahu’s office said in a statement, referring to Tehran’s support for militant groups, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Palestinian territories. Trump and Netanyahu last met in December.

Iran’s foreign minister, meanwhile, threatened U.S. military bases in the region.

Tehran will strike U.S. bases in the Middle East if it is attacked by U.S. forces that have massed in the region, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Qatari Al Jazeera TV on Saturday.

The U.S. and Iran held indirect talks on Friday in Oman. Washington was represented by special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law. Trump called the talks “very good” and said more were planned for the coming week.

Trump has repeatedly threatened to use force to compel Iran to reach a deal on its nuclear program after sending the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and other warships to the region amid Tehran’s crackdown on nationwide protests that killed thousands.
