Mon May 26 21:56:17 UTC 2025: **Headline: Homeland Security Secretary Noem Delivers Trump’s Message to Netanyahu: Unity on Iran Nuclear Deal Key**

**Washington, D.C.** – Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem recently concluded a visit to Israel, conveying a direct message from President Donald Trump to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: the United States seeks unity with Israel on the approach to Iran and its nuclear ambitions.

Speaking to Fox News after her meeting, Noem described her discussions with Netanyahu as “candid and direct.” This visit followed the fifth round of US-Iran nuclear talks in Rome.

“President Trump specifically sent me here to have a conversation with the prime minister about how those negotiations are going and how important it is that we stay united and let this process play out,” Noem stated.

The President himself expressed optimism about the ongoing talks, hinting at a possible positive development in the coming days. However, reports have surfaced suggesting Israel is preparing for potential strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities, despite the diplomatic efforts.

Secretary Noem emphasized the President’s commitment to peace, while also firmly stating that “this president will not allow” Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. She stressed the importance of aligning with Prime Minister Netanyahu on this issue.

A key point of contention in the nuclear negotiations remains Iran’s uranium enrichment program. While US officials are pushing for a complete halt to enrichment, Iran insists on its right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

Israel has long voiced skepticism about the talks, with Netanyahu asserting that Iran is on the verge of obtaining a nuclear bomb. Iran has accused Netanyahu of trying to undermine the US diplomacy.

The US withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018, reinstating sanctions on Iran. In response, Iran has been gradually increasing its nuclear program.

Meanwhile, Iran has ruled out the possibility of a temporary suspension of uranium enrichment for an interim agreement, emphasizing its commitment to reaching a fair and lasting deal.
