Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cited India as one of Israel's strongest supporters while rejecting US Vice President JD Vance's assertion that Washington is Israel's only powerful ally. He also spoke about Israel's global partnerships ahead of a planned meeting with President Donald Trump.
Donald Trump said the US would act if Iran fails to comply with any future agreement, while Tehran rejected American claims that it had accepted new nuclear inspection commitments during recent talks in Switzerland.
The Iranian state media claimed that the discussions on the first day didn't feature Iran's nuclear programme.
Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei says he approved the US-Iran peace memorandum despite holding a different view, while insisting Tehran will not yield to excessive American demands.
JD Vance has put his Switzerland trip on hold as Washington and Tehran continue to finalise technical negotiations under a newly signed US-Iran peace memorandum aimed at ending hostilities and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
The US Vice President added that the agreement offered Iran an opportunity to reintegrate into the global economy, provided it adhered to the terms of the deal.
The US Vice President said Netanyahu remains a good partner, but private differences with Washington are better left out of public view.
A New York Times report claims Donald Trump has privately compared JD Vance with Marco Rubio while weighing who could eventually shape the Republican Party's future.
