Trump, Netanyahu discuss Iran negotiations over phone

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump discussed the memorandum of understanding (MoU) being formed with Iran to enter negotiations during a phone call on Thursday evening, read a statement by Netanyahu's office.



According to the statement, while Israel is not a party to the MoU, Netanyahu thanked Trump for his commitment that the final agreement at the end of the negotiations would include removing Iran's enriched material, dismantling its enrichment facilities, limiting its missile production, and ending its support for its regional "terrorist proxies."



Earlier on Thursday, Trump said he had canceled scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran on Thursday evening, citing progress in ongoing negotiations. He also told reporters at the White House on Thursday night that the United States "just made a great settlement of the war with Iran" and an agreement between the two sides should get done in the next few days and might be signed in Europe.
