Netanyahu wants any agreement to include limits on Iran\u2019s ballistic missiles and a halt to its regional support, demands Iran has called nonstarters even as it says it is indeed open to negotiating its nuclear program. Trump expressed optimism, calling the talks \u201cvery good\u201d and suggesting a deal could be on the table to prevent nuclear weapons, though details remain unclear. Iran insists enrichment is its right and remains open to negotiations, while its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chinese-dictator-xi-jinping-threatens-biden-during-meeting-biden-fails-to-make-any-breakthroughs-reports\/\" title=\"Chinese Dictator Xi Jinping Threatens Biden During Meeting, Biden Fails To Make Any \u2018Breakthroughs\u2019: Reports\">foreign minister warned<\/a> that ballistic missiles are nonnegotiable. If negotiations fall apart, a U.S. military response is viewed as likely, and Netanyahu\u2019s hard-line terms could complicate or derail the talks if Trump remains supportive of a deal. The piece also notes related developments, including Kushner and Witkoff reportedly boarding a U.S. aircraft carrier off Iran\u2019s coast after the talks.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Netanyahu rushes to Washington for meeting with Trump on Iran<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2493753\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Israeli Prime Minister <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/benjamin-netanyahu\">Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> is headed to Washington, D.C., earlier than expected, as President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> appears optimistic a nuclear deal with <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\">Iran<\/a> is in sight.<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu was initially planning to meet with Trump at the White House on Feb. 18, the day before the first meeting of the Board of Peace, which is devoted to Gaza&rsquo;s redevelopment.

It said Netanyahu wants any negotiations with Iran to include &ldquo;limitations on ballistic missiles and a halting of the support for the Iranian axis.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Those two issues have been a red line for Iran, which has insisted those are nonstarters while remaining open to discussing its nuclear program.<\/p>\n<p>The United States, led by Middle East special envoy and Trump&rsquo;s son-in-law Jared Kushner, has largely held Israel&rsquo;s view, though Trump was strikingly positive after the Friday negotiations that initially seemed inconclusive.<\/p>\n<p>Calling the talks &ldquo;very good,&rdquo; he <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4449788\/trump-talks-iran-very-good-no-nuclear-weapons-deal\/\">suggested<\/a> to reporters aboard Air Force One that a deal is on the table, one that would have been &ldquo;accepted immediately&rdquo; and avoided the hostilities of the 12-Day War last summer.<\/p>\n<p>While details of that proposed deal are unclear, Trump said it must include &ldquo;no nuclear weapons,&rdquo; which Iran insists it is not pursuing anyway despite evidence to the contrary.<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu&rsquo;s demands may derail the negotiations if Trump is still favorable to them, especially as Iran is digging in on its hard-line stance following the Oman negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier Saturday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who led Iran&rsquo;s negotiating team there,&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2026\/2\/7\/iran-says-oman-mediated-talks-with-us-a-good-start\">told<\/a> <em>Al Jazeera<\/em> that its ballistic missile production was &ldquo;never negotiable&rdquo; because it is related to the country&rsquo;s defense. <\/p>\n<p>Araghchi also revealed some nuances to the nuclear component. He was firm that uranium enrichment is Iran&rsquo;s &ldquo;inalienable right and must continue,&rdquo; but maintained that the regime is open for a deal on it.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We are ready to reach a reassuring agreement on enrichment. The Iranian nuclear case will only be resolved through negotiations,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p>In the event negotiations collapse, a U.S. military response would appear to be likely as Trump has been weighing the prospect for over a month.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4450238\/witkoff-kushner-us-aircraft-carrier-iran-coast\/\">WITKOFF AND KUSHNER BOARD US AIRCRAFT CARRIER OFF IRAN&rsquo;S COAST AFTER NUCLEAR TALKS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>His initial concern was about the regime&rsquo;s violent crackdown on protesters, who were demonstrating against Tehran&rsquo;s struggling economy.<\/p>\n<p>Around the same time, however, Netanyahu briefed Trump at Mar-a-Lago on intelligence that Iran was rebuilding its ballistic missile program.
