Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to present his "principles" for negotiating with Iran during a meeting with US President Donald Trump in Washington, DC. The visit comes after recent nuclear talks between the US and Iran in Oman.
Netanyahu stated that he would share principles not only beneficial to Israel but also to everyone seeking peace and security in the Middle East. He also highlighted his close ties with Trump, describing them as "unique."
However, tensions remain high due to ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel, particularly after a series of Israeli attacks on Iranian military targets last year. Iran has rejected negotiations over its missile program, which it views as essential for self-defense.
Netanyahu's proposals are not specified, but he has previously suggested that Tehran should agree to full disarmament of heavy weapons akin to the 2003 deal with Libya. The US and Israel may also push for an end to Iranian support for allied non-state actors in the region, including Hamas in Palestine.
Despite efforts by the US to pressure Iran into a deal, Washington acknowledges that a compromise could be difficult due to differing views on domestic enrichment of uranium.
US Ambassador Mike Huckabee has stated that there is alignment between Israel and the US regarding red lines when it comes to Iran. However, Tehran claims that it will not be intimidated by threats of war and is committed to maintaining its right to enrich uranium domestically.

like everyone's gonna listen 
he's always been super shady about iran, what's changed now? 
and don't even get me started on trump 
he's basically just letting netanyahu walk all over him...like what even is the point of these talks? 
we all know iran's not gonna give up its nukes anytime soon 
Netanyahu's visit seems like a big step forward for peace talks, but Iran's stance makes me worried 
They really need to be able to protect themselves, you know? And what about Israel's concerns? It's a super complicated issue and I just hope that both sides can find common ground 
Trump's involvement is definitely a plus, though - he does seem like someone who wants to make a deal happen 
But it's hard to see how they'll overcome all these differences... my heart goes out to everyone affected by this conflict 
.
Still, it's good that he's sharing principles that could benefit everyone, not just Israel. Maybe there's hope for something positive to come out of these talks... 
. But what really gets me is how Trump is downplaying the whole thing by saying their ties are "unique". Unique? 
.
. Iran's got every right to defend itself, especially when it feels threatened by Israel's aggression 
. That just sounds like a way for Netanyahu to justify his own country's nuclear program without actually having to make any concessions 
I feel bad for Netanyahu, he's been around forever and always plays the victim. He thinks Trump's got his back, but what if it doesn't work out? 
. How can we guarantee everyone stays safe when it feels like a bad game of chess?
