Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has traveled to Washington for his seventh meeting with President Trump since Trump’s second election, primarily to advocate for strong US action on Iran amid ongoing tensions. Netanyahu’s urgency for this meeting stems from recent US-Iran discussions in Oman, where Israel is urging the US to demand zero nuclear enrichment and limits on Iran’s ballistic missile program in any future agreement. Iranian officials have adamantly rejected such terms, asserting that compliance with these demands would leave Iran vulnerable to external threats, including potential Israeli aggression. Meanwhile, President Trump is considering bolstering the US military presence in the region, a move that would send a strong signal of potential military action as both countries grapple with security issues concerning Iran’s military capabilities.
