Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a Fox News interview that he and President Donald Trump have a shared goal of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. 'We don't want to see the fanatical regime in Tehran holding nuclear weapons,' Netanyahu said, according to Israeli media.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview with Fox News this morning that he and President Donald Trump share the common goal of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons. The interview follows the leaders' meeting at the White House on Tuesday, which Netanyahu described as 'one of the best' we've had, as The Zioneer reported.
'We have a common goal — and it will be achieved,' Netanyahu said. 'We don't want to see the fanatical regime in Tehran holding nuclear weapons.'
The statement comes as the U.S. continues its air campaign against Iranian targets and diplomatic efforts to reach a framework agreement. The Trump administration has been pressing for a deal that would dismantle Iran's enrichment capabilities, while maintaining the option of military action. The meeting between the two leaders underscored the alignment on the Iranian threat, though tactical differences have been reported in the past (see The Zioneer's prior coverage of U.S.-Israel friction over Iran strategy).
No further details of the interview, including the timing of any potential future meeting, were provided.
