The calls came a day after US President Donald Trump told Israel Channel 12 that the United States would have to do “something very hard” if an agreement with Iran is not reached.
“Either we make a deal or we’re going to have to do something very tough,” the station quoted Trump as saying.
Trump has said he is considering sending a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East. axios and Channel 12 reported, amid tensions between Washington and Tehran over Iran’s nuclear program and its recent crackdown on protesters.
Iran has so far refused to expand the scope of its talks with the United States beyond the nuclear issue. Washington, however, wants Tehran’s ballistic missile program and its support for regional militant groups to be included in the negotiations.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump will meet today in Washington, their sixth meeting in the United States since Trump returned to power a year ago.
“On this trip we will discuss a number of issues: Gaza, the region, but of course, first and foremost, negotiations with Iran,” Netanyahu said in a video statement before his departure. “I will present to the president our views on the principles of the negotiations.”
In an earlier statement, Netanyahu’s office said he would highlight Israel’s concerns about Iran’s missile arsenal, not just its nuclear program.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman warned that Netanyahu’s visit would have a “destructive” influence on diplomacy that is “detrimental to the region.”
“Our negotiating party is the United States. It is up to the United States to decide to act independently of the pressures and destructive influences that are detrimental to the region,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei said at a weekly news briefing.
“The Zionist regime has repeatedly demonstrated, as a saboteur, that it opposes any diplomatic process in our region that leads to peace.”
The visit comes after Iran and the United States resumed negotiations in Oman on Friday for the first time since the 12-day war between Iran and Israel last June, which was briefly joined by the US military.
