US President Donald Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on May 23, 2026, regarding ongoing negotiations with Iran about its nuclear program. A senior Israeli official stated that Trump assured Netanyahu that a final agreement would dismantle Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Reports indicate that the initial deal focuses on extending a ceasefire for 60 days and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, while discussions on Iran’s nuclear activities will occur later. The deal reportedly does not require Iran to export its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. Netanyahu emphasized Israel's right to act against threats, and the two leaders discussed the implications of the negotiations, which have raised concerns in Israel. Israeli officials fear that the deal may allow Iran to strengthen its position without adequately addressing its nuclear ambitions. A senior Iranian source confirmed that Tehran has not agreed to relinquish its enriched uranium under the preliminary agreement. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated that further announcements regarding the deal are expected soon.
