Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Sunday that he and US President Donald Trump agreed on the necessity for any final agreement with Tehran to ensure the complete end of the Iranian nuclear threat.

In a statement issued following a phone call between the two leaders, Netanyahu said, "President Trump and I agreed that any final agreement with Iran must completely eliminate the nuclear threat. This entails dismantling Iran's uranium enrichment facilities and removing enriched nuclear materials from its territory."

On the same day, President Trump declared that ongoing negotiations between his administration and Tehran are proceeding in an "organized and constructive" manner. He emphasized that the naval blockade imposed on Iran will remain fully enforced until a final, ratified agreement is reached and signed by both parties.
