Israeli media reported on Tuesday that US President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone call last week, cautioning him against taking any actions that could derail ongoing nuclear talks between Washington and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

According to a senior White House official quoted in the reports, both Trump and other top US administration figures have expressed growing concern in private discussions that Netanyahu may be considering a military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities or other disruptive measures aimed at sabotaging the diplomatic process.

The phone call between Trump and Netanyahu reportedly took place last Thursday, following a deadly shooting incident in Washington in which two Israeli embassy staff were killed.

Trump seeks 'diplomacy'

During the call, Trump reiterated his commitment to a diplomatic resolution with Tehran, stating that he “does not want anything to stand in the way of that” and emphasized that “this is not the time to escalate tensions while efforts are underway to resolve issues.”

Although Trump made it clear that “the second option remains on the table,” a veiled reference to potential military action, he underscored his preference to first pursue diplomatic channels to determine whether a peaceful agreement can be reached.

The call highlights deepening tensions between Washington and Tel Aviv over Iran policy, as Netanyahu continues to advocate for a more aggressive approach toward Tehran, while Trump’s administration seeks to avoid a broader regional conflict that could jeopardize its diplomatic track with the Islamic Republic.

Uranium enrichment is a red line to Iran, MPs tell IRNA

On Saturday, two senior members of Iran’s Parliament reaffirmed the Islamic Republic’s unwavering commitment to uranium enrichment, describing it as both a “red line” and an “inalienable right” that will not be compromised under any circumstances amid the ongoing talks between Tehran and Washington.

Speaking to IRNA, Behnam Saeedi, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, dismissed the recent US demand for a full cessation of enrichment activities, warning that such pressure would derail the ongoing diplomatic efforts.

“The Iranian negotiating team will firmly defend the country’s rights and will not back down,” Saeedi said, emphasizing that the talks must adhere to the principles of mutual respect, non-interference in red lines, and the complete lifting of sanctions.

Iran to resist US pressures

Saeedi warned that any attempts by Washington to undermine Iran’s sovereign right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes would face firm resistance.

“Enrichment is Iran’s inalienable right and will continue on its path with strength,” he asserted, recalling that the nation has sacrificed blood and treasure to defend this scientific achievement.

He also reiterated that Iran has never sought nuclear weapons, in line with the fatwa issued by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Sayyed Ali Khamenei, which explicitly bans the development or use of such arms.

Another commission member, Salar Velayatmadar, also condemned the US proposal to halt all enrichment, calling it an “unrealistic demand” that contradicts the fundamentals of sovereign technological rights.

“As the Leader of the Islamic Revolution has affirmed, we are not seeking nuclear weapons. However, nuclear energy is the inalienable right of every country, and we will continue to pursue it with determination,” Velayatmadar told IRNA.
