Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke with President Trump about the emerging memorandum of understanding with Iran, the Prime Minister's Office said. Trump committed that the final agreement will require removal of enriched material, dismantling of enrichment infrastructure, limits on missile production, and an end to Iran's support for its terrorist proxies — even though Israel is not a party to the MOU.
Prime Minister Netanyahu's office confirmed Monday evening that President Trump committed to a final Iran deal that includes the removal of enriched material, dismantling enrichment infrastructure, limiting missile production, and ending support for Iranian proxies, including Hezbollah and Hamas. The commitment, conveyed during a phone call between the two leaders, was reported by the Prime Minister's Office at 23:14 Jerusalem, with Trump pledging these components despite Israel not being a party to the emerging memorandum of understanding.
This development follows a series of statements earlier in the evening. At 23:14 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported an initial version of the call in which Trump discussed the MOU and committed to removal of enriched uranium. A subsequent version at the same time added dismantling enrichment infrastructure and limiting missile production. This latest iteration is the first to incorporate curbs on missile production and an end to proxy support as explicit presidential commitments, though a prior version at 23:14 had already mentioned the broader framework.
The thread reflects a shift in the quality of sourcing. The earliest version at 23:14 Jerusalem cited a single reporter's statement; by 23:14 and 23:18, additional outlets corroborated the call. The White House confirmed the call at 22:38 Jerusalem, as reported by The Zioneer, that Trump mentioned potential signing this weekend. A subsequent article at 22:15 Jerusalem noted Israeli skepticism about the framework, even as the Prime Minister's Office provided the most detailed substantive description of Trump's commitments to date.
The wider context includes Trump's earlier statements that the deal is in an "almost final stage" and could be signed as early as this weekend, as reported by The Zioneer at 22:38 Jerusalem. Background context also cites Trump's remark on June 8 that he does not require Lebanon to be part of any Iran agreement, and a June 9 article noting his expectation of clarity within 48 hours. What remains open is whether the MOU itself includes any enforcement mechanisms or timelines for the commitments Trump outlined, and whether other parties — including Iran — have agreed to these terms.
