Trump warned Iran of traumatic consequences if no nuclear deal is reached, after a meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu, who expressed skepticism and urged broader agreement terms.

US President Donald Trump on Friday warned Iran, saying that if it failed to reach a nuclear deal, it could be “traumatic," and described his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “very good."

“We have to make a deal; otherwise, it is going to be very traumatic (for Iran) and I don’t want it to happen…If they don’t make a deal, it is going to be a different story. We had a very good meeting yesterday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu," Trump said.

Israeli PM Netanyahu Expressed ‘General Skeptism’ During Meeting

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke about his meeting with US President Donald Trump, saying the American leader asked for his views on the ongoing talks with Iran. Netanyahu said he conveyed “general skepticism" about the nature of any possible agreement.

The Israeli leader stressed that any deal should go beyond Iran’s nuclear programme and also address its ballistic missile capabilities and support for proxy groups across the region.

In a post on X, he said, “He wanted to hear my opinion. I won’t hide from you that I expressed general skepticism regarding the nature of any agreement with Iran. But I said that if an agreement is indeed reached, then it must include the elements that are very important from our perspective, from Israel’s perspective, and in my opinion not only Israel’s."

“It’s not only the nuclear issue, it’s also the ballistic missiles and it’s also the Iranian proxies. With that, I would say, the conversation was essentially concluded, although of course it also touched on Gaza, on the entire region, and on other general matters," he added.
