U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu concluded high-stakes discussions on Iran this week without reaching a definitive agreement, according to statements released on February 13, 2026. The talks aimed to address escalating regional tensions following recent indirect negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
The meeting comes days before Trump's newly formed Board of Peace on Gaza is scheduled to convene, raising questions about overlapping diplomatic priorities. Analysts note the lack of progress highlights persistent divisions over Iran's nuclear ambitions and regional influence.
While neither side disclosed specific roadblocks, the outcome underscores the complexity of balancing Middle East security concerns with broader geopolitical strategies. Observers anticipate renewed efforts to stabilize the region ahead of anticipated multilateral engagements later this year.
