Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his support for US President Donald Trump's 'maximum pressure' campaign on Iran during his visit to Washington. Netanyahu emphasized the importance of preventing a nuclear-armed Iran and stated that if a maximum pressure campaign can achieve this goal, it should be pursued. Trump also reiterated his belief in the effectiveness of a pressure campaign and expressed his willingness to engage in diplomatic negotiations with Iran. Meanwhile, Trump signed a presidential memorandum reimposing the US policy on Iran, which includes efforts to drive down Iran's oil exports to zero. Netanyahu has long opposed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and has advocated for a tough stance on Iran.
