JERUSALEM, May 24 (Xinhua) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that he and U.S. President Donald Trump have agreed that any final agreement with Iran must remove its nuclear threat.

"This means dismantling Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities and removing enriched nuclear material from its territory," Netanyahu wrote in a post on the social media platform X.

"My policy, like President Trump's policy, remains unchanged: Iran will not have nuclear weapons," he added.

Netanyahu said he had spoken with Trump overnight about a memorandum of understanding to open the Strait of Hormuz and upcoming negotiations on a final agreement over Iran's nuclear program.

Trump had "reiterated Israel's right to defend itself against threats on all fronts, including in Lebanon," he noted.

The remarks came amid reports of progress in U.S.-Iran talks.
