Benjamin Netanyahu, Donald Trump to meet in DC to discuss Iran talks | The Jerusalem Post

“The Prime Minister believes that any negotiations must include limiting ballistic missiles and ending support for the Iranian axis,” the PMO stated.

Trump stated that the talks, which took place on Friday in Muscat, Oman, were “very good” and that US and Iranian officials are “going to meet again early next week,” while speaking with reporters on Air Force One.

“They want to make a deal,” Trump said of Iran, adding that, regardless of other terms that may be included in a potential future deal, Iran will be allowed “no nuclear weapons.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who was present for the Omani-mediated discussion, asserted that Iran’s ballistic missile programs “cannot be negotiated, neither now nor in the future,” in a Saturday interview with Qatari state-run news agency Al-Jazeera.

In a separate speech delivered at the Al Jazeera Forum in Doha, Araghchi decried what he alleged was “inequality” in the way Israeli arms programs are treated.

Araghchi claimed that “Israel is free to expand its military arsenal without limits, including weapons of mass destruction that remain outside any inspection regime” while other nations, such as Iran, are “demanded to disarm.”

He accused Israel of being an “expansionist project” that “permanently enjoys the upper hand” while requiring “that neighboring countries be weakened militarily, technologically, economically, and socially.”
