Israeli Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon said Thursday a visiting senior US treasury official assured him that sanctions against Iran would remain in full force.
"I just finished an excellent working meeting with Sigal Mandelker, the under secretary of the treasury," he wrote on his Twitter account.
"I was happy to hear from her that contrary to media reports there is no change in US sanctions policy toward Iran and they will continue at full strength."
Asked if he would take such a step to enable a meeting with Rouhani, Trump replied: "We will see what happens."
