Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shared on Sunday that he spoke last night with US President Donald Trump the previous night about the memorandum of understanding to reopen the Straits of Hormuz and the upcoming negotiations toward a final agreement on Iran’s nuclear program.

Netanyahu stated that he expressed his "deep appreciation to President Trump for his unwavering commitment to Israel’s security, including during Operation Roaring Lion and Epic Fury, when American and Israeli forces fought shoulder to shoulder against the Iranian threat."

According to the Prime Minister, "President Trump and I agreed that any final agreement with Iran must eliminate the nuclear danger. That means dismantling Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites and removing its enriched nuclear material from its territory."

"President Trump also reaffirmed Israel’s right to defend itself against threats on every front, including Lebanon."

Netanyahu stressed that "the partnership between us and our two countries has been proven on the battlefield and has never been stronger."

He concluded: "My policy, like President Trump’s, remains unchanged: Iran will not have nuclear weapons."
