Event Summary

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that any US deal with Iran must include the dismantling of Iran's nuclear infrastructure, not just a halt to enrichment. He conveyed this position to US President Donald Trump. Iran and the United States are engaged in a second round of negotiations this week to resolve their nuclear dispute, with Iran seeking economic benefits from an agreement. The United States has deployed a second aircraft carrier to the region, preparing for potential military action if talks fail. Separately, Benjamin Netanyahu announced Israel's intention to end US military aid within the next 10 years, transitioning from aid to a partnership with the United States. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi traveled to Switzerland for the talks, which will be mediated by Oman.
