A senior Israeli official reported that during a meeting in Washington, Netanyahu and Trump discussed three scenarios regarding Iran: a diplomatic agreement, maintaining sanctions without military action, or a new large-scale military operation.

A senior Israeli official reported that during a meeting in the Oval Office, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump discussed three possible scenarios regarding Iran. The first scenario involves reaching a diplomatic agreement with Tehran. The second is no deal while maintaining economic pressure through sanctions without resuming military action. The third option entails a new large-scale military operation against the Islamic Republic. The official refuted the notion that Netanyahu came to persuade Trump to resume strikes. Unlike the February visit, when the prime minister actively sought US participation in an Israeli operation, the current trip pursues different goals. Netanyahu indicated he doubts Iran's readiness to comply with any agreement. The leaders thoroughly examined the strengths and weaknesses of each scenario.
