Netanyahu says he urged Trump to consider ‘tighter siege’ on Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he urged US President-elect Donald Trump to consider a tighter siege on Iran ahead of the implementation of expanded US sanctions. During the discussion, Netanyahu expressed skepticism regarding the possibility of reaching any deal with Iranian officials, referring to them with harsh language. These remarks come as the incoming US administration prepares to return to a policy of maximum pressure. The Israeli Prime Minister has previously emphasized the necessity of adopting a firm approach toward Iran's regional activities and nuclear program. Iranian officials have not yet issued an official response to these comments.
