Iran on Tuesday warned that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the United States could disrupt the newly resumed nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington.

Netanyahu left for Washington to meet U.S. President Donald Trump, aiming to push for a tougher stance on Iran’s ballistic missile program. This marks his seventh meeting with Trump since returning to office, including one in Jerusalem last October following a Gaza ceasefire.

“On this trip, we will discuss a range of issues: Gaza, the region, but first and foremost the negotiations with Iran,” Netanyahu told reporters. He said Israel will present its views on “principles of the negotiations,” which he described as crucial for regional peace and security.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei criticized the visit, saying Israel has been the main source of insecurity in the region. He accused Israel of turning Iran’s peaceful nuclear program into a “fabricated crisis” and said the U.S. should act independently of “destructive pressures” from foreign lobbies. Baghaei stressed that Iran is serious about diplomacy and seeks the removal of “illegal” sanctions.

Meanwhile, Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, visited Oman, where he met Sultan Haitham bin Tariq to discuss the Iranian-U.S. negotiations and ways to reach a fair agreement. The Omani statement emphasized dialogue, peaceful resolution of disputes, and promotion of regional and global stability.

The talks in Muscat last Friday came amid rising tensions between Tehran and Washington over U.S. military deployments in West Asia. Following the discussions, Trump described them as “very good,” while Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Araghchi said the process’s continuation depends on consultations in both capitals.
