Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims Iran will not pursue nuclear weapons following U.S. and Israeli strikes, stating Tehran is afraid after feeling "the might of America and Israel."

During a meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said military strikes on Iran will have “historic consequences for peace.”

Netanyahu is making his third US visit since Trump took office on January 20 and had earlier told reporters that while he did not think Israel's campaign in the Palestinian enclave was done, negotiators are "certainly working" on a ceasefire.

The post Netanyahu says Israel ‘didn’t deal with’ Iran’s enriched uranium during war, insists it can’t have material appeared first on The Times of Israel.

The visit marked a rare moment of overt praise from the Israeli leader, who thanked the United States for standing "shoulder to shoulder" with Israel in what he called a show of decisive strength aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

While taking questions from reporters with President Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was asked if he supports regime change in Iran.

President Donald Trump is scheduled on Monday to welcome Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel to the White House for a state dinner.

"The spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry rejects U.S. President Trump's claim, saying Iran has made no request for a meeting with the American side," Iran's official news agency IRNA said. Trump said "we have scheduled Iran talks" and "they want to talk" on Monday at a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
