US Homeland Security chief says Trump sent her to brief Netanyahu on Iran talks

US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said she held a direct and candid conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about ongoing US-Iran negotiations.

“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 told Fox & Friends on Monday. “It was a very candid conversation.”

The remarks come after US and Iranian delegations concluded a fifth round of indirect talks in Rome last week, with some signs of limited progress.
