"No definitive agreement was reached" on Iran: Trump after meeting with Netanyahu

"I just met with the Israeli Prime Minister, Netanyahu, and several of his representatives. It was a very positive meeting; the excellent relationship between our two countries continues. No final agreement was reached, except that I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see if a deal can be made. If it can, I informed the Prime Minister that will be my preference. If not, we will simply have to see what the outcome is. Last time, Iran decided that it was better not to do a deal, and they received a midnight blow; It worked. Let's hope they are more reasonable and responsible. Also, we talked about the enormous progress that is being made in Gaza and in the region in general. There really is PEACE in the Middle East. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" declared Donald Trump on his Truth Social platform.

The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, and the President of the United States, Donald Trump, discussed by telephone initiatives for de-escalation and stability in the Middle East, according to the Emir's Diwan.

The call took place prior to the meeting between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this Wednesday, in which the leader of the Jewish-majority state is expected to pressure the American to expand Washington's talks with Iran to include restrictions on the Islamic Republic's missile arsenal and other security threats beyond its nuclear program.

Iranian president apologizes to "all those affected" by the protests and denounces "Western propaganda"

In the middle of a speech for the commemorations of the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, the president of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, apologized to "all those affected" by the national protest and the subsequent bloody repression. At the same time, the president denounced what he called "Western propaganda" that he accused of being the origin of the protests.

Pezeshkian claimed to know the "great pain" people felt in the protests and repression, without directly acknowledging the involvement of Iranian security forces in the bloodshed.

"We are ashamed before the people and we are obliged to help all those harmed in these incidents (...) We do not seek confrontation with the people," declared Pezeshkian.

Ali Khamenei stresses that Iran's missile capabilities are a "red line"

The advisor to the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic, Ali Khamenei, stressed this Wednesday that Iran's missile capabilities are its "red line."

"They are not an issue for negotiation," emphasized Ali Shamkhani, advisor to Iran's supreme leader, quoted by 'Nournews'.

On Sunday, February 8, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated that Tehran's missile program had never been part of the talks' agenda.

Iranian president says he will not give in to "excessive" nuclear demands

The president of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, declared this Wednesday that his country "will not give in to excessive demands" on its nuclear program, following Tehran's resumption of indirect talks with Washington.

On the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, Pezeshkian again denied that Iran was seeking nuclear weapons and stated that the country was ready for "any verification."

"Our country, Iran, will not give in to their excessive demands (...) Our Iran will not give in to aggression, but we maintain dialogue with all our strength with neighboring countries to establish peace and tranquility in the region," he declared in a speech given in the capital's Azadi Square on the occasion of the anniversary.

"We are not seeking to acquire nuclear weapons. We have repeatedly stated this and we are ready for any verification," he added.

What is Israel's fear of indirect talks between the US and Iran?

According to sources close to the matter, Israel fears that, to avoid a war with Iran, Washington will finally "settle" for an exclusively nuclear agreement, without imposing restrictions on Tehran's ballistic missile program or ending the so-called Axis of Resistance, which includes groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

"I will present to the president our interpretation of the principles of the negotiation," Benjamin Netanyahu told the press before leaving for the United States.

Netanyahu's visit — their seventh meeting of Trump's second term — comes as both Tehran and Washington project cautious optimism after holding indirect talks in Oman on Friday about how to re-approach negotiations over Iran's nuclear program.

"We'll see what happens. I think they want to make a deal (...) I think they would be naive if they didn't. We eliminated their nuclear power last time, and we'll have to see if we eliminate more this time," Trump declared Tuesday in an interview with Larry Kudlow of 'Fox Business Network'.

Received by Trump in Washington, Netanyahu intends to increase pressure on Iran

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, receives the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, this Wednesday, February 11 at the White House.

The meeting comes at a time when the Jewish-majority state is pressing for Washington to escalate its demands on Iran. Washington and Tehran recently resumed indirect talks, but the Islamic Republic asks that they only focus on its nuclear program. Instead, the US is seeking to expand them to other security issues such as its missile program, which the Islamic Republic has already highlighted as a "red line" that it is not willing to negotiate.

Trump maintains his threat to attack Iran again if a deal is not reached. On Tuesday, February 10, on the eve of the meeting with Netanyahu, the American told 'Fox Business' that a good deal with Iran would mean "no nuclear weapons or missiles," but did not give further details. In another interview, given to the news portal 'Axios', he stated that he was considering sending a second aircraft carrier and its strike group to the Middle East.
