Israel has long been skeptical that Iran would abide by agreements to dismantle its nuclear weapons program and refrain from attacking countries in the region. At the same time, Trump is facing increasing pressure from critical Republicans and voters to end the war.

The atmosphere between Trump and Netanyahu is said to have become tense during the conversation. According to Axios, Netanyahu wants to continue to attack Iran and further weaken the regime. Trump, for his part, told reporters on Wednesday that they are in the final stages of negotiations with Tehran.
