Netanyahu said he spoke with Trump on Saturday about the emerging peace deal, which would extend the ceasefire for 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. But the proposal makes no mention of what becomes of Iran s nuclear program or its stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
President Trump and I agreed that any final agreement with Iran must eliminate the nuclear danger, he wrote on the social platform X. That means dismantling Iran s nuclear enrichment sites and removing its enriched nuclear material from its territory. President Trump also reaffirmed Israel s right to defend itself against threats on every front, including Lebanon.
He added that the U.S. and Israeli stance going forward remains unchanged: Iran will not have nuclear weapons.
