Overview
- Standing with Benjamin Netanyahu, President Trump warned he would support immediate U.S. or Israeli action against any Iranian effort to restore nuclear or ballistic missile capabilities and said he believes intelligence tracks alternate sites.
- Trump tied movement to the next stage of the Gaza truce to a rapid Hamas disarmament, asserting Israel has met its commitments and cautioning there would be “hell to pay” if the group refuses.
- Iran rejected the accusations and vowed an “immediate harsh response” to any attack, as unconfirmed media reports alleged IRGC work on unconventional missile payloads that Tehran denies.
- Netanyahu said the talks were productive and announced Israel will confer its highest civilian honor on Trump, underscoring the political alignment between the two leaders.
- The leaders also discussed the West Bank and potential contributors to a proposed international stabilization force for Gaza, including Turkey, but announced no concrete decisions.
