In a White House meeting with Obama, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu urged maintaining and even tightening sanctions on Iran if its nuclear program advances, while signaling support for diplomatic talks. He dismissed Rouhani’s outreach as a ruse for more time, while Obama said diplomacy should be tested and that all options remain on the table.
