Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu is scheduled to travel to Washington on Wednesday for talks with US President Donald Trump, with Iran expected to dominate the agenda.
According to Israeli officials, the discussions will center on ongoing negotiations with Tehran and Israel’s insistence that any agreement address more than just nuclear activity.
“The Prime Minister believes any negotiations must include limitations on ballistic missiles and a halting of the support for the Iranian axis,” his office said tonight.
Against that backdrop, senior US figures Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner toured the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln this morning.
The visit took place at the invitation of United States Central Command commander Admiral Brad Cooper and was aimed at showing support for American forces deployed in the region. It came shortly after a round of indirect negotiations in Oman, which Trump later praised as “very good talks,” adding that Iran appears eager to reach an understanding.
Meanwhile, Tehran signaled firm opposition to one of Israel’s key demands. Speaking earlier Saturday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi rejected the notion that Iran’s missile capabilities could be part of any deal.
“This is a defensive matter. No external country will deal with it,” he said.
Araghchi also ruled out a full suspension of uranium enrichment, saying that issue was not on the table. At the same time, he indicated some flexibility, saying Iran is willing to negotiate an enrichment framework acceptable to all parties. As he put it, “The level of uranium enrichment is based on our needs, and the enriched uranium will not leave Iran.”
