The calls came a day after US President Donald Trump told Israel’s Channel 12 that the United States would do “something very hard” if no deal is reached with Iran.
“Either we’re going to make a deal or we’re going to have to do something very tough,” the broadcaster quoted Trump as saying.
Trump has said he is considering sending another 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.
So far, Iran has refused to expand the scope of its negotiations with the United States beyond the nuclear issue. However, Washington wants Tehran’s ballistic missile program and its support for regional militant groups to be part of the talks.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump are due to meet in Washington today, their sixth meeting in the United States since Trump returned to office a year ago.
“On this trip, we will discuss a number of issues: Gaza, the region, but of course first and foremost the negotiations with Iran,” Netanyahu said in a video statement before his departure. “I will present to the president our views regarding the principles of the negotiations.”
In an earlier statement, Netanyahu’s office said he would highlight Israel’s concerns over 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 “harmful to the region”.
“Our negotiating party is America. It is up to America to decide to act independently of the pressures and destructive influences that are harmful to the region,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei said in a weekly press briefing.
“The Zionist regime has repeatedly shown, as a saboteur, that it is against any diplomatic process in our region that leads to peace.”
The visit comes after Iran and the US on Friday resumed talks in Oman for the first time since the 12-day Iran-Israel war last June, which was briefly joined by the US military.
