Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday to discuss the tense situation with Iran.

The trip takes place after the United States and Iran resumed indirect negotiations on Iran's nuclear program.

"The Prime Minister believes that any negotiations must include a limitation on ballistic missiles and an end to support for the Iranian axis," Netanyahu's office wrote in a statement.

The "Iranian axis" refers to the armed groups that Iran supports in the region, such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement in Yemen, and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The United States and Iran met through mediators in Oman on Friday. At that time, only Iran's nuclear program was on the agenda, not the country's missile program.
