Prime Minister Netanyahu will present evidence to President Trump at their upcoming White House meeting indicating that Iran's ballistic missile capabilities have recovered, according to a report. The move is part of Netanyahu's effort to persuade Trump to take a harder line in the emerging agreement with Iran.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, Prime Minister Netanyahu planned to present new intelligence to President Trump at their White House meeting. A new report now specifies that the intelligence includes evidence of Iran's ballistic missile recovery, reflecting Netanyahu's attempt to convince Trump that Iran's capabilities have rebuilt under Mojtaba Khamenei's leadership. The report comes as diplomatic efforts on the Iran nuclear deal intensify, with Trump having previously committed to requiring the removal of enriched material, limits on missile production, and an end to Iran's support for proxies (as The Zioneer reported June 11). The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, and the outcome could influence the final terms of the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding.
