Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he will bring up renewed sanctions on Iran when he meets with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House next month, citing a reported testing of a ballistic missile by the Islamic Republic.

“In my coming meeting with President Trump, I plan to raise the resumption of sanctions against Iran in this context and in other contexts,” Netanyahu said on Twitter. “Iranian aggression will not go unanswered.” Netanyahu will visit the U.S. Feb. 15 for talks with the president, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said at his daily briefing Monday.
