Trump 'insisted' Iran talks continue in meeting with Netanyahu

US President Donald Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that his preference is for negotiations with Iran to continue. During a meeting at the White House, Trump insisted on pursuing a diplomatic deal, even as the Pentagon prepares to deploy a second aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East. Trump noted that if a deal cannot be reached, the outcome is uncertain, referencing a past operation called "Midnight Hammer." The US negotiating position has reportedly shifted to include a ban on Iran's ballistic missiles in addition to its nuclear program.
