Trump should defy Netanyahu over nuclear talks with Iran, says its foreign minister

Seyed Araghchi claims US president's Arab allies now view Israel's recklessness as a threat to us all'

• You'll never defeat us in Iran, President Trump: but with real talks, we can both win | Seyed Abbas Araghchi

Donald Trump should defy Benjamin Netanyahu and realise renewed talks with Iran over its nuclear programme are a better bet and more likely to succeed owing to stronger support in the region for a successful outcome, the Iranian foreign minister, Seyed Araghchi, says in a Guardian article. He also suggests Trump's Republican base want a deal and not further unnecessary wars.

Araghchi was writing a day after Netanyahu held talks with Trump in the US in which Israel's calls to consider fresh attacks on Iran were discussed alongside the Gaza peace plan.
