Trump says reaching an agreement with Iran would be the "preferred" option; Iran's Supreme Leader Advisor: The U.S. is moving towards rationality

According to CCTV News, on February 11th local time, U.S. President Donald Trump posted on his social media platform “Truth Social” that he had just met with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and several of his representatives. Trump stated that the meeting was very successful and that the good relationship between the two countries has been maintained.

Trump said that no specific decisions were reached, but he insisted on continuing negotiations with Iran in hopes of reaching an agreement. Trump stated he has informed Netanyahu that if an agreement can be reached, it will be their top priority; if no agreement is possible, they can only wait and see. Trump also expressed hope that Iran will be more rational and responsible this time.

U.S. and Israeli leaders discuss a “Joint Action Plan” in response to potential failure of U.S.-Iran negotiations

The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office issued a statement on the same day, saying that during the meeting with the U.S. President, Netanyahu discussed negotiations related to Iran, the Gaza situation, and regional developments. The statement said that Netanyahu outlined Israel’s national security needs during the talks. Both sides agreed to maintain close coordination and communication.

Israeli sources said that this closed-door meeting aimed to develop a “Joint Action Plan” in case U.S.-Iran negotiations fail.

During the approximately three-hour closed-door meeting, officials from Israel and the U.S. familiar with the matter reported that both sides were “skeptical” about the possibility of reaching an agreement with Iran. The meeting aimed to prepare a “Joint Action Plan” should negotiations between the U.S. and Iran fail.

A senior U.S. official said that even if negotiations only focus on Iran’s nuclear issue and do not involve Iran’s ballistic missile program, the U.S. doubts whether an agreement can be reached with Iran. If both sides agree to initiate a “joint strike” in case negotiations fail, the effect could be far greater than unilateral military action by the U.S. or Israel.

The Israeli government and security agencies do not expect an agreement from U.S.-Iran negotiations. Regardless of whether an agreement is reached, Israel hopes to maintain its “freedom of action” around Iran.

According to CCTV News, on the 11th local time, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi posted on his personal social media that millions of Iranians took to the streets to celebrate the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution victory.

Araghchi said that since the Islamic Revolution, especially over the past year, many events have occurred. However, the Islamic Republic of Iran has always stood firm. This resilience is rooted in trust in its own people, not reliance on foreign regimes.

Araghchi expressed his sincere hope that the coming year will be one of peace and stability, where dialogue replaces war. Diplomacy is the preferred approach, and reaching an agreement on Iran’s peaceful nuclear program is possible, provided the agreement is just and balanced. To this end, Iran will defend its sovereignty at all costs. Araghchi stated, “Our rights and dignity are not for sale.”
