Deal, blockade or renewed military action — these were the three broad options discussed when US President Donald Trump met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu behind closed doors at the White House on Tuesday.
The meeting was the first between the two leaders since the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran on February 28. It came as the US weighed whether to continue negotiations with Iran, deepen economic pressure or return to large-scale military action. No final decision was taken, Reuters reported, citing a senior Israeli official briefed on the meeting. The official said the final call rested with Trump.
Netanyahu expressed doubts about the possibility of reaching an agreement with Iran, but did not urge Trump to choose military escalation. The Israeli side acknowledged that the final call rested with the US president.
