When asked about the potential for military action if Iran does not make a deal on their nuclear weapons, Trump said "Absolutely."
"If it requires military, we're going to have military," the president told reporters. "Israel will obviously be very much involved in that. They'll be the leader of that. But nobody leads us. We do what we want to do."

"Whatever happens, we have to make sure that Iran does not have nuclear weapons," Netanyahu said during the meeting.
The talks with Iran scheduled for Saturday in Oman have been characterized as "direct" talks by Trump, but Iran's foreign leaders have disputed that assertion, describing the talks as "indirect." Iran's leaders have said if the talks go well Saturday, they would be open to further direct negotiations with the U.S.
