President Trump has said that he "insisted" that the US continue try to find a diplomatic solution with Iran during a meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu yesterday.
The Israeli leader has made another of his increasingly regular visits to Washington, with Iran high on the agenda.
Reports in Hebrew media suggest Israel is gearing up for another conflict with the Islamic Republic - something which Trump has also threatened repeatedly - and that Netanyahu was looking to lobby the president to take a tougher stance.
While Trump said that "nothing definitive has been reached", keeping the threat of military action hanging over Tehran, he did subsequently post on social media that he had "insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a deal can be consummated".
"If it can, I let the Prime Minister know that will be a preference. If it cannot, we will just have to see what the outcome will be," he added.
For its part, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office published its own account of the meeting, which it said "addressed negotiations with Iran, Gaza, and regional developments".
"The prime minister emphasised Israel’s security needs in the context of the negotiations, and the two agreed to maintain close coordination and ongoing communication," read the statement.
It comes after state-linked news agencies in Iran reported that the regime was seeking a compromise on the issue of nuclear enrichment.
Both Israel and the US have insisted that all enrichment activity end, which Iranian leaders have insisted is a red line.
Instead, they are reportedly suggesting that they "dilute" their stock of 60 per cent enriched uranium, which is estimated at around 400kg.
If the material reaches 90 per cent enrichment, it is considered capable of being used in a nuclear weapon.
Dilution, also known as downblending, involved mixing the uranium with other materials to reduce its enrichment percentage. This lengthens the amount of time needed to re-enrich the material to the level required for atomic bombs.
