Trump discussed the memorandum of understanding with Iran with Netanyahu during a phone call, the office said, adding that Netanyahu described the memorandum as a preliminary step toward possible negotiations with Tehran.

Trump pledged that any final agreement would include the removal of enriched nuclear material, the dismantling of Iran’s uranium enrichment infrastructure, limits on missile production, and an end to Iranian support for allied armed groups across the region, the office affirmed.
