Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with US President Donald Trump in Washington on Wednesday regarding US talks with Iran, Netanyahu's office said late Saturday.
“The prime minister believes that all negotiations must include limiting ballistic missiles and ending support for the Iranian axis,” Netanyahu’s office said in a statement, referring to Tehran’s support for militant groups including Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Palestinian territories. Trump and Netanyahu last met in December.
Meanwhile, Iran's foreign minister threatened US military bases in the region.
"Tehran will attack American bases in the Middle East if it is attacked by American forces that have gathered in the region," Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Qatari television Al Jazeera on Saturday.
The US and Iran held indirect talks in Oman on Friday. Washington was represented by special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law.
Trump called the talks "very good" and said more were planned for next week.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to use force to force Iran to reach a deal on its nuclear program, after sending the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and other warships to the region amid Tehran's crackdown on nationwide protests that killed thousands of people.
Meanwhile, the United Kingdom has deployed more fighter jets to Cyprus to bolster security amid concerns that a US attack on Iran could plunge the region into a wider conflict, The Times of London reported.
Six F-35B jets departed RAF Marham on Friday for Cyprus, joining Typhoons already there and carrying out missions over Iraq and Syria, according to the report.
