Netanyahu presses Trump to widen Iran talks in Washington visit

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu heads to Washington to urge President Trump to expand the Iran talks beyond a narrow nuclear agreement, pushing for limits on enrichment, ballistic missiles and Tehran’s regional support. Iran maintains its program is peaceful, while the U.S. and Israel fear a limited deal could fail to curb Iran’s moves, raising the possibility of unilateral action by Israel and shaping Netanyahu’s political standing ahead of elections as indirect talks in Oman and a major U.S. military buildup unfold.

Iran to discuss missiles and proxies in US talks, nuclear focus persists

Iran has agreed to discuss its ballistic missile program and its use of proxy groups in talks with the United States, but negotiators say the discussions will still center on Iran's nuclear program. After tensions nearly derailed negotiations, the talks were shifted toward Muscat with Arab mediators urging broader topics, while the American position that those broader issues must be included remains unchanged.

Iran’s expansive ballistic-missile arsenal looms as talks resume

Iran maintains one of the region’s largest ballistic-missile programs, with ranges up to about 2,000 km and a diverse arsenal (Sejil, Ghadr, Emad, Shahab-3, Khorramshahr), plus underground depots and ongoing hypersonic development. Analysts say Iran recovered from 2025 Israeli strikes and continues to view missiles as a deterrent and possible delivery system for nuclear weapons, while Israel and other powers monitor the threat.

Trump eyes Iran strike, as U.S. forces mass in region

As Trump signals a renewed U.S. push against Iran with a carrier-led force buildup, Washington frames it around pressuring Tehran to accept a no-nuclear-weapons deal, even as Iran’s nuclear program remains degraded but not eliminated. Analysts warn that Iran could retaliate through missiles and its regional proxy network, and that U.S. options are limited and risk significant regional blowback, making this escalation a search for a decisive objective rather than a straightforward victory.
