US President Donald Trump warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against taking steps that could harm nuclear deal negotiations between the US and Iran in a phone call last week, a senior White House official and another source familiar with the details said on Tuesday.
Trump’s message to Netanyahu was that ‘this is not the time to escalate the situation while he is trying to resolve the issues.’
Trump and other senior US officials have expressed increasing concern in private talks that Netanyahu might order a military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities or take other actions that could sabotage diplomatic efforts, said the senior White House official.
Last week, Walla reported that Israel is preparing for the possibility of a rapid strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities if negotiations between Iran and the US fail in the coming weeks. In Israel, it is estimated that the window of opportunity for a successful strike might close soon.
Netanyahu’s close associate, Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, arrived in Washington on Monday together with Mossad chief David Barnea. The two met with Vice President JD Vance, US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and other senior American officials to discuss the negotiations with Iran.
The call between Trump and Netanyahu took place last Thursday, following a shooting attack in Washington in which two Israeli embassy staff were killed.
According to the senior White House official, Trump told Netanyahu that he wants to reach a diplomatic solution with Iran and ‘does not want anything to interfere with that.’
The official said Trump’s message to Netanyahu was that ‘this is not the time to escalate the situation while he is trying to resolve the issues.’
The senior White House official added that during the call, ‘President Trump encouraged Netanyahu to act cautiously.’
Channel 12 reported on Monday that the call between Trump and Netanyahu was ‘tense.’
White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said at a press conference last Thursday that Trump ‘clearly explained’ to Netanyahu that he wants to see a deal with Iran.
‘He wants to see a deal. The President is a dealmaker and strongly believes in diplomacy — and he made that clear to the prime minister,’ Lewitt said.
Kristi Noem’s Jerusalem visit
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem met with Netanyahu on Sunday in Jerusalem and again conveyed Trump’s message about the need to avoid steps that would sabotage talks with Iran, according to an Israeli official.
Noem told Fox News on Monday that she had an ‘open and direct conversation’ with Netanyahu and conveyed Trump’s message regarding the need to ‘let this process move forward.’
According to her, the negotiation process with Iran will not drag on for weeks or months, and Trump will make a decision within days. An Israeli source said Noem told Netanyahu: ‘Give us a week.’
White House envoy Steve Witkoff met on Friday with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Rome for the fifth round of nuclear talks.
On Sunday, Trump said that there had been ‘real progress’ in the negotiations and added that ‘there will be good news’ on this matter later in the week.
There will be no “Iran deal” because Zion Don demands that Iran give up its rights as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. You know, the Treaty to which Israel, India, Pakistan and North Korea are not signatories and that the US, as a signatory, is in continual non compliance.
ed note–And what are you going to do when in fact ‘Zion Don’, as you put it (stupid title, BTW) does indeed make a deal with Iran, avoids the war which Netanyahu is moving heaven, hell, and everything in between to get started and in general begins dialing back on Israel’s territorial aims and succeeds in doing everything which the Jews are terrified he will succeed in doing?
This is just more of the same useless tripe that was tossed around months ago by Trump haters saying he would never release the JFK/RFK files, and yet he did. Same useless tripe that said he would not force a ceasefire in Gaza, which he did, and which he is preparing to do again, this time for good.
It is no wonder the Jews win hands down against the Gentiles over and over again when THIS is what passes as ‘intelligent analysis’.
It’s no wonder they refer to us all as ‘cattle’.
